Greek · Brighton
A good pick for a mixed-age group, since the kids' menu and high chairs mean a toddler is catered for while older children have the same dishes as you. The moderate noise level is the useful bit — nobody's going to notice a bit of chatter or a dropped fork. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without the doorway dance, and the outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a child needs a wriggle. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the family members who need them.
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.
