Sushi · Plymouth
A small Japanese place in Plymouth where lunch tends to go quickly and quietly — tables are cleared, food arrives fast, and nobody hovers. That matters with children: one family was seated and served straight away at 1pm on a Saturday, and the music is kept low enough that you can talk without raising your voice. It's a compact room, so a buggy fits but you'll be asked to tuck it in; there are high chairs and a kids' menu. Sushi is made fresh in front of you, portions are generous for the price, and the chicken katsu bento, katsudon and teriyaki all get warm praise. Pumpkin croquettes cover the veggie side, with vegan options too. Worth knowing: it closes mid-afternoon and reopens in the evening, so lunch can feel a little brisk near 3pm.
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.
