Cosy Reading pub with beams, wood floors and a terrace garden — outdoor seating makes it an easy, relaxed family stop.
Nepalese · Reading
Nepalese and Indian cooking at a mid-range price, which usually means there's something mild and familiar on the table alongside whatever the adults order — and there's a proper kids' menu, so you're not just splitting a curry three ways. High chairs are here, so a baby or toddler has somewhere to sit, and step-free access means you can wheel a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. Gluten-free options are available if that's something you're working around. It's worth booking ahead, and the noise sits at a comfortable middle — busy enough that a chatty toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room.

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.
