Family · Birmingham
A big, forgiving family chain restaurant on the edge of Birmingham, and the free salad bar does a lot of heavy lifting when you've got hungry children — you can put something on their plate within a minute of sitting down. The rotisserie chicken and sweet potato fries come up again and again, as do the burgers, served hot and quickly on busier evenings. Staff take allergies genuinely seriously here, checking with the kitchen rather than guessing, which matters if you're feeding a coeliac or dairy-free child. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy-friendly space and outdoor seating for warmer days. Parking is free, though the car park is pitted with potholes. Prices creep up — steak carries a £5 supplement on the Sunday set menu — and food can be slow at peak times.

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.
