Family-ready Hastings restaurant with kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access, outdoor seating and vegan and gluten-free choices.
Café · Hastings
A good pick if you're out with a toddler and don't want to think too hard about it — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and level access, so a buggy comes in without a fuss. It's a quiet spot rather than a busy one, which suits younger children who get overwhelmed by noise, though older kids will need to keep their voices down. Gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. Prices sit in the mid range, so it's an everyday sort of stop rather than a treat.

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.
