Mettricks Portswood
A laid-back Southampton coffee shop with a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and outdoor seating for easygoing family visits.
Pub · Southampton
A cheap and cheerful pub in Southampton where the practical bits are already sorted: high chairs are there when you need them, and there's a proper kids' menu rather than a token nugget option. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a struggle, and gluten-free dishes are available if someone in your group needs them. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when little ones need to be louder than an indoor table allows, and the noise level inside is moderate enough that a chatty toddler won't stand out. Worth booking ahead so you're not stood in the doorway with a hungry child.

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.
