Middle Eastern · Hastings
Getting in is straightforward — step-free access means you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold, and high chairs are there when you need one. There's a kids' menu, so you won't be splitting your own plate or negotiating over something too spicy, and vegan and gluten-free options cover most of what a family might need between them. Noise sits at a comfortable middle, loud enough that a chatty toddler won't stand out. It's ££ with outdoor seating, and 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.
