Pancake · York
A pancake place in York that actually works with children in tow — seating spread over two floors, so there's usually somewhere to tuck a pram, and quiet stretches midweek if you can go early afternoon. The kids' deal is £5 for a pancake with two toppings and a juice, and portions are famously enormous, so nobody leaves hungry. Staff come across as friendly and unhurried, and tables turn over quickly at seating. Gluten-free and vegan cooking is taken seriously — every pancake can be made gluten-free and arrives marked with a special toothpick. Savoury options are worth a look alongside the sweet ones. Single pancakes off the main menu run £10–13, so it isn't cheap, but the after-2pm weekday deal brings a pancake and hot drink to £6. Service can occasionally be hands-off once you're seated.
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.
