Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
Thai cooking in a big, softly-lit room where there's space to park a buggy without apologising to anyone. Staff tend to ask about allergies before you have to raise it, which is a real relief in a Thai kitchen, and food generally lands quickly — useful when someone small is unravelling. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, along with vegan options and a few outdoor tables. Worth ordering: the roast duck with its properly crisp skin, the dragon fruit sweet and sour chicken, and spring rolls or tempura king prawns to keep little hands busy while mains cook. The Thai tea has a devoted following. Two honest snags — the set meals are far larger than they sound, so individual dishes waste less, and drinks orders occasionally go astray. Worth booking at weekends.
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.
