Restaurant · Harpenden
A mixed-age table works well here — there's a kids' menu for the younger ones, high chairs if you're still at the strapped-in stage, and vegan and gluten-free options so nobody's stuck with a side salad. Step-free access means you can wheel a buggy in rather than folding it at the door, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a toddler needs air. It gets lively, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. Prices sit at the higher end and booking is worth doing.
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.
