Modern European · Brighton
Tucked in the Lanes, this is a grown-up sort of place — a doorman at the door, flames above the entrance, cocktails that arrive looking like theatre — but families do eat here, and the Sunday roast is what to come for: big flavours, and more than one family has said it's the roast they still talk about. Desserts arrive with a bit of showmanship, which children tend to love. Practically, there's a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access, outdoor seating and free parking, and the staff are unfailingly polite without being stiff. Two honest snags: food can be slow to arrive, so bring something to occupy small people, and the bar has no stools — the room is built for standing and mingling. Quieter at lunch; evenings get lively with live music.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
