Pub · Derby
A pub kitchen with a kids' menu and high chairs already sorted, so bringing a toddler here doesn't take much thought — you can walk in and know there's something they'll eat and somewhere to sit them. Prices are on the low side, which helps when everyone's ordering, and gluten-free options mean one fussy tummy doesn't derail the meal. Step-free access and free parking take the strain out of arriving with a buggy, and there's outdoor seating when the weather plays along. It tends to stay on the quiet side, and booking is worth doing.
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.
