Indian · Newark
You can arrive with a toddler here without much groundwork — high chairs are on hand, there's a kids' menu, and step-free access means the buggy comes through the door rather than getting folded on the doorstep. It's a quiet room, which suits a baby who naps in the pram but does mean a loud three-year-old will be heard, so timing helps. There are outdoor tables if you'd rather let a wriggly child have a bit more space, and gluten-free dishes if someone in the family needs them. Booking ahead is worth it at this Newark spot.
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.
