Pizzeria Santana
Long-running Jesmond Italian with fast, generous food, step-free access, free parking and a kids' menu — busy but never deafening.

Cafés · Newcastle upon Tyne
Brunch here leans generous and unhurried — the American breakfast comes out properly filling, the coffee is good, and the honeycomb latte has its regulars. Inside is small and cosy, so a pram is easier if you take one of the outdoor tables on a decent day; that outside space also helps if your two are loud. Staff come up again and again as friendly and accommodating, and there are high chairs and a kids' menu, plus free parking, which takes the sting out of a Newcastle morning. The gluten-free baking is a genuine find — a proper spread of coeliac-safe treats, fresh or frozen to take home — and there are solid vegan options too. Worth knowing: portions can feel small for the price, and not everyone has rated the kids' nuggets.

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.
