Cafe Westoe
Quiet South Shields café with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and vegan and gluten-free choices — booking advised.
Indian · South Shields
Indian food at the ££ mark, with a kids' menu so there's something familiar to fall back on if the little one isn't ready for spice yet — mild rice-and-bread plates are usually the easy win here. High chairs mean you don't have to bring your own seat solution for a baby, and step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward rather than a three-person operation. Gluten-free options are marked, which helps if one of your children is coeliac. It gets lively, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out, and it's worth booking ahead.

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.
