Restaurant · Blackburn
Weekday lunch with a toddler in tow is straightforward here — high chairs are on hand, there's a kids' menu, and you can get in and out with a buggy without lifting it over a step. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, which suits a calm early meal but does mean a wailing baby will carry, so bear that in mind if you're mid-teething. Vegan and gluten-free options mean fussy or restricted eaters at the table are covered too. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it won't blow the week's budget.
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.
