Restaurant · Birmingham
Burger places in Brum are ten a penny, but this one holds its own — portions land big enough that fried pickles and onion rings are genuinely shareable, which helps when you're feeding a table with children in it. Food comes out quickly, which matters more than anything when someone's patience has run out, and the kitchen is happy to bend an order (half-vegan, half-beef has been done). There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and plenty of vegan and veggie choices. Hippo Hour is the sensible move for value. Staff are relaxed and attentive, and walk-ins sometimes get squeezed in, though booking is safer at weekends. Worth knowing: the burgers come light on salad, so ask if your child expects something green.
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.
Cheerfully noisy Neapolitan pizza with fast service, generous portions, high chairs and buggy room — expect a wait at peak times.
Handsome Birmingham dining room with high chairs, a kids' menu and famously good fish and chips — quiet at lunch, loud at weekends.
Tiny, buzzy Birmingham street-food spot with mild spicing, sharing plates, high chairs and a kids' menu — book ahead, it's small.
