Indian · Derby
Getting in is straightforward here — step-free access means the buggy comes through the door rather than being folded on the doorstep, and high chairs are ready once you're settled. There's a kids' menu, so no negotiating over a shared plate of something too hot, and gluten-free options if anyone in the family needs them. It's a quiet room, which suits a baby who naps through lunch but is worth thinking about if your toddler is at the loud stage. Booking ahead is recommended, and prices sit at the gentler end.
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.
