Bistro · Rye
Rye in East Sussex is the sort of place families end up for a day out, and this French bistro is set up to take you as you are: a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy up a step. Gluten-free options are on hand if someone at the table needs them. It's lively rather than hushed, which usually means a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. Worth booking ahead, and expect mid-range prices.
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.
