Frankie & Benny's
Roomy chain Italian with big portions, high chairs and patient staff — reliable rather than remarkable, and slow when it's busy.

Fish And Seafood · Newcastle upon Tyne
Fish and chips suits a mixed-age table well, and this one is set up for it — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access so a buggy isn't a problem getting in. Gluten-free options mean a child with coeliac or an intolerance isn't stuck with a bread roll and chips. The noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty toddler won't stand out, and at ££ it's a reasonable spend for a family lunch in Newcastle. Worth booking ahead rather than turning up on spec.

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.
