Restaurant · Nottingham
A city-centre spot that works when you need food fast and nobody's got the patience to wait — plates land quicker than expected, and the chicken comes out hot and properly cooked rather than sitting under a lamp. Being able to dial the peri-peri right down means even a spice-averse five-year-old can eat the same thing as everyone else, and the peri-peri fries get raved about by just about everyone. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, room to get a buggy in, and vegan options. The team are genuinely warm — one parent mentions free fridge magnets for the children and a cake brought out for a birthday. It's casual and a bit buzzy rather than quiet, and Friday evenings get busy, so expect noise at peak times.
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.
