Restaurant · Leicester
Middletons sits in Leicester, and it's set up for families in the practical ways that matter — a kids' menu so there's no negotiating over a side order, high chairs already there, and step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy up a step with one hand. Vegan and gluten-free options mean a mixed group can all order properly rather than one person making do. It's a lively room, so a bit of toddler noise won't stand out. Prices sit at the higher end, and it's worth booking ahead.
