Manjaros
Huge portions, famous parmos and a £24.99 Sunday lunch, with high chairs, free parking and staff who keep busy tables moving.

Caribbean · Stockton-on-Tees
Handy for a family dinner when nobody wants to cook — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and gluten-free options, so you can sort everyone at one table without ringing ahead to check. Step-free access means a buggy rolls straight in, and the outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when a toddler needs a change of scene. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your two are the noisy sort. Booking ahead 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.
