Thai · Hartlepool
Thai food is a good bet with children when there's a kids' menu to fall back on, and this Hartlepool restaurant has one alongside high chairs, so a toddler is sorted without much thought beforehand. Milder rice and noodle dishes tend to suit smaller appetites, and there are vegan and gluten-free options if anyone in your group eats differently. Access is step-free, so you can get a buggy in without lifting it. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which takes the pressure off a noisy table — worth booking ahead.
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.
