Table-top charcoal grilling makes this a proper occasion rather than a quick meal, and children old enough to be trusted near the coals tend to be riveted — plus everyone doing BBQ gets a marshmallow stick to toast at the end, which buys you a good ten minutes of calm. Weekday lunches are the easy option: quieter, easy to get a window seat, gentle lighting, and staff who explain the dishes and top up the charcoal without being asked. Sharing platters of beef, lamb, chicken, shrimp, squid and scallops arrive fresh and genuinely good value; the gyoza and takoyaki are the safe crowd-pleasers. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, vegan options and outdoor seating. Two honest snags: items get crossed off the menu, and there are no soft drinks — only water.

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.
