Fish & chips · South Shields
A mixed-age group can eat here without much fuss — there's a kids' menu, high chairs for the youngest, and gluten-free options if someone at the table needs them. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without lifting it over a threshold, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows and little ones need room to fidget. It's a quiet spot rather than a boisterous one, so it suits children who'll sit for a meal more than those who need noise to hide in. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it won't stretch the budget for a family of four.
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.
