Café · Sunderland
A weekend morning with a toddler is easy enough here — there are high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free access, so you can arrive with a buggy and not have to negotiate a doorway. It's a lively room, which means nobody will notice a bit of noise from your table, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather spread out. Vegan and gluten-free options mean a child with allergies or a fussy eater is properly catered for rather than picking at toast. Worth booking ahead, as they recommend it.

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.
