Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
Bottomless tapas at around £17 is the draw here, and it's genuinely good value if you time it for a quieter hour — weekend evenings get loud and busy, which suits older kids more than a napping baby. Buggy access is fine and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Staff are quick and friendly, ask about allergies before you sit down, and there's a full gluten-free menu covering starters through puddings. Families rave about the calamari, hot honey wings and pork quesadillas, and the nachos share well across a table. One snag worth knowing: tapas dishes arrive one at a time rather than together, so hungry children may watch someone else eat first — ordering doubles of the same dish helps. Portions are generous enough for leftovers.
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.
