Hot Pot · Nottingham
Hot pot works well with a mixed-age table, since everyone cooks what they fancy at their own pace and fussier children can stick to the plain bits. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is catered for too, and step-free buggy access saves you folding anything at the door. Gluten-free options are available, which helps if one of yours is avoiding it. It's a lively room, so nobody will notice a noisy three-year-old — 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.
