The Ship & Bell
A traditional Waterlooville pub with pub food, outdoor seating and sport on the TVs — an easygoing spot for a family meal out.
Tapas · Waterlooville
Spanish small plates might sound like a stretch with kids, but tapas is one of the easier ways to feed a family — order a few plates, let everyone pick, and nobody has to commit to one big dish they might not touch. There's a kids' menu if your child would rather stick to something familiar, plus high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without any negotiation. Vegan and gluten-free options are on hand too, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded at the door. It gets lively, which suits noisy little ones, and outdoor seating helps on a warm day — worth booking ahead.

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.
