Hope & Anchor
Quiet Matlock restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access, gluten-free options and free parking.

French · Matlock
Proper French cooking at a mid-range price, with a kids' menu so children aren't left picking at grown-up plates — and if you have a vegan or gluten-free eater in the family, they're catered for too. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is sorted without you bringing your own kit, and step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is a relief when a toddler gets noisy. Worth booking ahead so you're not standing in the doorway with tired children.

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.
