Japanese · Grantham
Expect a bit of buzz here rather than hushed dining, which is exactly what you want when a toddler is having a moment — nobody will notice. High chairs and a kids' menu mean you can arrive with small children and not have to negotiate anything at the door, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you instead of being folded on the doorstep. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier or trickier eaters in the group. It's worth booking ahead, and at ££ it sits in ordinary-family-meal-out territory.
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.
