Café · Brighton
You'll find this one right on Brighton beach, and the setting does a lot of the work — tables tucked outside with a proper sea view but sheltered from the wind, which makes a difference with small children. Buggies get in fine, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, and vegan options if you need them. Staff come in for real praise: friendly, quick, happy to look after people, and drinks arrive fast, which matters when someone's patience is running out. Fish tacos, the skin-on fries and the fish and chips with minted mushy peas all get named repeatedly, alongside the burgers it originally built its name on. Worth knowing the kitchen can be inconsistent — a few people have found the fried food greasy — and a family meal here adds up quickly.
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.
