Fish & chips · Hartlepool
A mixed-age table works well here, since the kids' menu and high chairs mean toddlers and older children are both catered for without you improvising. Buggy access is step-free, so you're not folding anything down at the door or hunting for somewhere to park it. Gluten-free options are available, which takes the stress out of eating out if one of your children needs them. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a bit of chatter or a grumble won't feel out of place.
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.
