Chow Kee
Hartlepool restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options at moderate prices.

Pub · Cleveland
Handy for families with a mix of ages, this pub keeps the essentials sorted — a kids' menu, high chairs for the little ones, and gluten-free choices if someone at the table needs them. It's a quiet spot rather than a boisterous one, which suits a toddler who's easily overwhelmed but might feel a bit exposed if yours are the type to shriek over pudding. Prices sit at the budget end, so feeding everyone won't sting. The 4.7 rating from over 300 people suggests it does the simple things well.

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.
