Restaurant · Brighton
Board games and a burger might not sound like a family outing, but this Brighton spot handles children better than you'd expect. Buggy access is straightforward, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, and outdoor seating if the inside gets echoey — which it does as the evening wears on. The staff are the thing people remember: patient with big group bookings, happy to recommend a game the children can actually follow, and relaxed about a birthday cake being brought in. Food arrives together and reasonably quickly at quieter times, though it noticeably slows when the place fills up — go early or midweek if you're on a toddler's clock. Burgers and the plain fries get the warmest mentions. All-gender bathrooms, comfortable seating, and a genuinely friendly, laid-back crowd.
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.
Seafront fish and chips overlooking the pier, with refillable thick-cut chips, high chairs, a kids' menu and notably patient staff.
