Indian · South Shields
A quiet Indian dinner out is a rare thing with small children, and this South Shields spot makes it workable — high chairs are there, a kids' menu means you're not splitting your own curry three ways, and step-free access spares you the buggy lift at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussy eaters and the ones with a list. It's a calm room rather than a boisterous one, so it suits an early family meal better than a late one. Worth ringing ahead, as booking is recommended.
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.
