The Barley Mow
Quiet Polegate restaurant with kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access, gluten-free options and free parking — booking advised.

Restaurant · Lewes
A farm-based restaurant just outside Lewes might sound like a faff with small children, but this one has the basics sorted: high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free access for a buggy. Gluten-free options are available too, which helps if one of yours can't eat wheat. Parking is free, so you're not feeding a meter while unloading everyone. The noise level sits at moderate — enough background hum that 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.
