You'll want to book, especially at weekends — this Arcadian Centre spot fills up and gets lively, though the team seem unbothered by last-minute changes: one group turned up as four and grew to eight, and were seated without fuss. Even without a booking, families report being shown to a table swiftly and given time to decide rather than being rushed. Food comes out hot and fast, which matters when someone's hungry and wobbling. The sharing tacos, burritos, fajitas and the mac and cheese platter all get named repeatedly, and there are vegan options plus a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating. Worth knowing: bottomless brunch is a big draw here, so the noise level at weekends is closer to cheerful roar than quiet lunch — one parent found the neighbouring table's chatter the only downside.
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.
Smart city-centre Indian with generous portions, a kids' menu and parking below — pricier than a standard curry house, but calm and welcoming.
Deceptively huge inside with well-spaced tables, table service to your seat, quick hot food and low prices — but weekends get hectic.
