Pub · Hastings
Turning up with a toddler here is about as low-effort as it gets — high chairs are on hand, there's a kids' menu so you're not negotiating over a side of chips, and step-free access means the buggy comes straight in without a lift-and-shuffle at the door. Free parking takes the other bit of stress out, which counts when you're unloading small people and all their gear. Gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out, and booking ahead is a good idea.
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.
