Restaurant · Birmingham
A big, buzzy taproom rather than a hushed family spot, but there's a kids' menu, high chairs, room to get a pram in and outdoor seats when the noise gets much. The burgers are the thing to order — people go back for them, and the wings on Wednesdays have a following — with a beer list that's the real draw for the grown-ups. Staff are what lift it: warm, quick to look after people, one family remembering the kitchen being kept open so they could eat. Worth knowing it's not consistent — food quality wobbles, service can be slow when only one or two are on, and drinks are pricey for what they are. Book at busy times, order at the bar rather than trusting the app, and go early with little ones.
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.
Spacious, buzzy Caribbean spot where walk-ins work, food arrives fast, and mild jerk chicken keeps spice-shy children happy.
Quirky, relaxed Birmingham café near New Street with big vegan choice, filling portions, quick pancakes and room for prams.
Low-key Birmingham takeaway doing hearty fried chicken and craft beers, with high chairs for the little ones.
