Restaurant · Bristol
A big, busy Las Iguanas at the retail park, handy if you're pairing lunch with the shops or the bowling next door — though give yourself more time than you think, because service here can be slow at peak times and food has been known to take 45 minutes on a packed evening. Go outside of the Friday-night rush and it's a much easier ride: high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy room, free parking right outside, and a warm welcome at the door. The bottomless tapas is the thing to know about with children in tow — good value and everyone leaves full — and the popcorn squid gets ordered twice more often than not. Vegan options are properly covered. It's not cheap for a family of four, and a booking is worth making at weekends.
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.
