The Grand Restaurant, Bistro & Bar
Roomy and quiet with a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor tables, but bland pricey food and worrying allergy handling — not one for allergy families.

Restaurant · Nottingham
Big, buzzy and Latin-flavoured, this is the kind of place where nobody notices a toddler making noise — which is exactly why it works with children in tow. The tapas plates are the easy win: order a few, spread them across the table, and everyone picks at what they fancy without waiting on one big main. Staff get consistent praise for being attentive and quick, so food arrives before anyone hits meltdown point. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and vegan options, plus outdoor seating for warmer days when you'd rather not be inside. Worth knowing: bottomless brunch is popular here, so weekend late mornings get lively and loud — go early or midweek for a calmer table. Around ££ for mains, and booking is sensible at busy times.

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.
