Steak house · Maidstone
Handy for a family dinner out where the children need something to do between courses — there's indoor soft play alongside the tables, so a long meal doesn't have to test anyone's patience. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is easily accommodated, and gluten-free options mean one dietary need doesn't rule the place out. It's step-free with a buggy, and outdoor seating is there when the weather's kind. Expect a lively room rather than a hushed one, and it's worth booking ahead.
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.
