A weekday lunch with a toddler in tow is straightforward here — high chairs are ready, there's a kids' menu so you're not carving up a curry into something manageable, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than getting folded on the doorstep. Free parking takes the stress out of arriving with small children and all their gear. Gluten-free options are on hand if someone in your group needs them, and it's a lively room, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. 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.
