Taco Bell
Budget-friendly Southampton spot for tacos and nachos, with a kids' menu and high chairs for an easy family stop.

Café · Southampton
Tucked in the heart of the city, this is a café where you can genuinely slow down with a small person in tow — comfy seating inside, a few tables out front next to a park, and plenty of room to park a pram. The walls are hung with artwork and there are shelves of old books to browse, which buys you a surprising amount of quiet time while food arrives. Staff are warm and unhurried; one visitor was let borrow a book to take away. Breakfast runs until noon and comes in around £14 with a coffee. Hot chocolates, Turkish coffee, cinnamon swirls, chocolate chip shortbread and the pistachio cheesecake all get named repeatedly. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are available. It's small and calm rather than boisterous — better for a gentle stop than a rowdy one.

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.
