There's a fair bit of family-friendly practicality behind the smart Jesmond frontage — buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus an outside terrace that's lovely on a sunny day and gives everyone more room to spread out. The kitchen is flexible: one family asked for a chicken Kiev that wasn't on the menu and the chef simply made one. Pizzas go down well with children — one visiting family said their son rated his above his usual favourite at home — and the calamari, tomato garlic bread, truffle pasta and the king prawn and chorizo tagliatelle all get named again and again. It looks high-end but most mains sit around £15–£25. Midweek evenings are quiet and easy; weekends and big tables need booking ahead, and desserts like tiramisu and panna cotta are worth saving room for.
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.
