Pub · Derby
A £ pub in Derby with a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler can be fed and seated without you thinking too far ahead about either. Gluten-free options are on hand if someone in the family needs them, and there's outdoor seating for the stretch when a child has finished eating and wants to be somewhere else. Getting in is step-free, which makes a real difference when you're pushing a buggy, and parking is free. It's on the quieter side and booking is a good idea.

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.
