Restaurant · Bournemouth
A reliable spot for a post-beach feed, with free parking, buggy access and outdoor tables if the pram won't fit inside. The room is homely and relaxed, with board games on hand — genuinely useful when a toddler is fraying and food is slow, because at busy times it can be. Kitchen closes at 9.30pm, so an early tea works better than a late one. Brunch is the strength: the Byron Bay brunch has a following, the shakshuka is well-seasoned, and there's a proper kids' menu plus vegan options and high chairs. It gets loud and warm at weekends — there's no air conditioning — and quality can wobble when they're short-staffed. But the team is patient and hard-working, and one local calls it "a go to when not sure what people will like".
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.
