Pan-Asian · Sunderland
A Pan-Asian spot in Sunderland that works for families who want something a bit different from the usual chain options. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so younger children are properly catered for rather than an afterthought, and vegan and gluten-free dishes mean nobody's stuck with a plain bowl of rice. Step-free access makes getting a buggy inside straightforward, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when a child needs a change of scene. It's a lively room, which is good news if your toddler is having a noisy day — worth booking ahead.

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.
