Restaurant · Birmingham
Handily placed inside Grand Central, so it's an easy stop if you're passing through New Street with children in tow — though it's worth knowing the ground floor gets a queue at busy times and you may wait outside for a table. Upstairs is deceptively big, with room to park a pram, and there's a nice view across to the church. Staff tend to be patient and attentive, checking back mid-meal and clearing quickly between customers; one visitor with several food intolerances was handed a tablet to check allergens without any fuss. Food usually lands within about ten minutes, useful when someone's patience is thinning, though it can stretch longer on a busy Saturday. Kids' menu and high chairs are there, plus solid vegan and vegetarian options — the plant-based wrap, mac and cheese, smashed peas. Cleanliness is occasionally a let-down, so glance at your table.

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.
