Weekday lunch with a toddler in tow is straightforward here — high chairs are ready and there's a kids' menu, so nobody's negotiating over a plate of something too spicy. The free parking takes the sting out of arriving with a buggy and a bag of snacks, and step-free access means you can wheel straight in rather than folding everything up at the door. It's a lively room, which is good news if your two are the noisy sort, and there's outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier eaters, 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.
