Handy after a film or a shopping trip, this Mexican spot sits on a lively high street with plenty of parking nearby and space to get a pram through. Inside is roomy, prettily decorated and rarely cramped at quieter times, which makes it an easy one with small children — high chairs, a kids' menu, and staff who'll happily move you to a table that suits. Vegetarian and vegan families are looked after properly rather than grudgingly, and the team are good at steering you through the tapas. The sizzler gets the most enthusiasm, and food usually arrives piping hot. Worth knowing: on busy evenings there can be only two servers covering the whole room, so waits stretch and dishes land at odd intervals — book ahead and go earlier rather than later if hungry children are involved.
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.
Warm, rustic Italian where staff are patient with busy family tables — generous portions, standout desserts, though the kitchen can be hit or miss.
Warm Greek meze restaurant with buggy space, a kids' menu and honey-coated halloumi fries — staff who speed things up when children flag.
A well-loved Bracknell coffee shop with outdoor seating, ideal for a laid-back cuppa when you've got the little ones along.
