Buffet · Brighton
A buffet with a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access means you can arrive with a toddler and a buggy and get on with it — no lifting, no hunting for a seat that works. Because it's a buffet, children who won't sit still for a long menu wait can eat when they're ready, and there are vegan and gluten-free options if anyone in your group needs them. It's moderately noisy, so a squawk or two won't stand out. 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.
Roomy, surprisingly calm Vietnamese spot with fast service, generous pho, a kids' menu and high chairs — avoid the draughty door tables.
Historic Brighton pub with a heated beer garden, roomy booths, standout fish and chips, and a hot Sunday roast with endless gravy.
Roomy Italian near the seafront with a kids' menu, generous pizza and pasta, and unhurried staff — busiest at weekends.
