Pub · Brighton
A pub with a kids' menu and high chairs is a straightforward choice if you've got a toddler in tow — you can walk in and be fed without arranging anything in advance. Gluten-free options mean a child with a coeliac diagnosis or a wheat intolerance isn't stuck with a plain jacket potato, which takes one worry off the table. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty three-year-old or a squabble over the last chip won't feel like an event. Prices are at the low end, useful when you're feeding a few of you at once.
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.
A small Kemptown bistro with a plant-filled heated back terrace, brilliant breakfasts, high chairs and notably kind staff.
Central Brighton bar with a rare town-centre garden, crunchy fried chicken and tacos — lunchtimes suit families, evenings get loud.
Fresh, cooked-to-order fish and famously thick curry sauce near the pier — but with barely any seating, it's really a beach picnic.
