Fish & chips · Nottingham
Fish and chips at a pound-sign price point makes this an easy midweek call in Nottingham, and the practical bits are in place: high chairs are available, so you don't need to bring your own seating solution or balance a toddler on your knee. There's a separate kids' menu, which saves the usual negotiation over splitting an adult portion. Gluten-free options are worth knowing about if someone in the family avoids wheat — not a given at a chippy. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a grizzly baby won't be the loudest thing in the room.
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.
