Fish & chips · Portsmouth
Good news if you're feeding a mixed-age group on a budget — there's a proper kids' menu here alongside the usual chip shop fare, so nobody has to share an adult portion. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is catered for too, and step-free access saves you folding the buggy at the door. Gluten-free options are worth knowing about if one of yours can't have the standard batter. The noise sits at a comfortable middling level, so a chatty toddler won't stand out.
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.
