Thai · Brighton
Years of regulars keep coming back for the same handful of dishes here — lamb shank massaman, sleeping honey duck, pork dumplings, golden money bags, Samui prawns, chilli squid that's tender and crispy at once. It's bright and airy inside with cosy seating, so there's room to settle a pram without feeling wedged in, and the atmosphere stays relaxed rather than hushed. Children get their own menu that genuinely fills them up — one parent thought the kids' portions were better value than the adult mains. High chairs are there, and outdoor tables in warm weather. The staff are patient and plentiful, happy to seat you early if you arrive before your booking. Worth knowing: food can take around 45 minutes at busy times, so bring something to occupy small hands.
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.
Buzzy retro breakfast spot with huge portions, great coffee and genuinely allergy-aware staff — book ahead, as queues build fast.
