The Blacksmiths
Family-friendly Loughborough pub with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating; booking recommended.

American · Loughborough
A weekday lunch out with the family is straightforward here — there's a kids' menu, high chairs waiting, and step-free access so you can push a buggy in rather than folding it at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody in the group has to make do with a side salad, which is a relief if one of you eats differently. It's mid-priced and the noise sits at a comfortable middle, so a chatty toddler won't stand out. Worth booking ahead if you're travelling in for it.

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.
