Italian · North Shields
A quiet Italian café where the volume stays low — good news if your child finds a busy dining room overwhelming, though worth knowing if yours is at the loud stage. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is properly catered for rather than an afterthought, and vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody in the family gets left picking at bread. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without lifting. It's inexpensive, and booking ahead is recommended.

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.
