Hamburger · Brighton
Bright, roomy and easy to steer a buggy into, this Brighton branch is a reliable stop when you've got hungry children and no patience for a long sit-down. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and there's outdoor seating if your lot are noisy and you'd rather be out in the seafront buzz. The QR code ordering on the table is genuinely handy — no waiting to catch someone's eye, and easy to split the bill. Staff get consistent praise for being friendly and welcoming, even late on a Sunday. The beef burgers are the thing to order (the Rocketman with avocado has a real following), along with the milkshakes; the chicken burgers come off drier. Two honest snags: portions have shrunk, and fries aren't always included, so it can feel pricey for what lands. Food usually arrives quickly, though one parent waited 20 minutes in an empty room.
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.
