Restaurants · Ellesmere Port
Shopping at Cheshire Oaks with children in tow, this is an easy stop — free parking outside, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus outdoor seating when the weather plays along. The sharing-plates format is genuinely useful with a family: small dishes land quickly, so nobody sits waiting while a toddler unravels, and everyone picks their own. Staff get recommendations right for your party size and keep an eye on the table without hovering. The swing seats in the window are a hit with children. Regulars come back for the monkey wrap, lamb chops, roti breads, tamarind fries and gunpowder chicken wings, and there's a solid vegan choice. Two honest snags: portions are small for the price, and not everyone finds the curries as boldly spiced as they'd hoped.
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.
