Pub · Reading
A pub with a quiet feel, this one in Reading makes a sit-down meal with children genuinely doable — there's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can order for a toddler without negotiating a compromise off the main menu. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded up at the door, and free parking takes the fuss out of arriving with small people in tow. Gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days. 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.
