Pizza · Brighton
An all-you-can-eat buffet is a gift when you have hungry children — here it's around £12 a head, with eight kinds of pizza restocked in fresh trays every few minutes, plus pasta, sides and a salad bar with a proper spread of vegetables and sauces. The pesto pasta salad and red cabbage coleslaw get particular praise, and the dough comes out soft and full of flavour. Self-service counters at the front mean no waiting while someone melts down, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options and room to get a pram in. Staff are quick and kind — one family found the food "great value of money". Worth knowing: the décor is dated, drinks and desserts cost extra, choice can feel a bit limited, and the techno soundtrack isn't exactly relaxing. Clean toilets, student discount, halal kitchen.
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.
