Café · South Shields
Weekend mornings here run lively rather than hushed, which is the kind of noise that swallows a toddler's chatter instead of drawing looks. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, so you can arrive without ringing ahead to check what a five-year-old might eat, and vegan and gluten-free options mean a fussy or allergic child isn't left with a plate of chips. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to park a buggy and let a restless one wriggle. Prices sit at the gentler end, though it's worth booking.
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.
