Quiet Sri Lankan restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access, outdoor seating and vegan or gluten-free dishes.
Restaurant · Saint Leonards-on-sea
Quiet is the word here, which with children can cut both ways — easy conversation and no need to hush a chatty four-year-old over a loud room, but also nowhere for noise to hide. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and vegan and gluten-free options mean a fussy or allergic eater isn't left with a plain bowl of rice. It's mid-range on price, and booking ahead is worth doing so you're not stood in the doorway with a hungry family.

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.
