Restaurant · Margate
Turning up here with children doesn't take much groundwork — there's a kids' menu, high chairs waiting, and step-free access so a buggy rolls straight in rather than needing a lift over a threshold. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a toddler needs to wriggle, and gluten-free options mean one less thing to negotiate if someone in your group avoids it. It's a lively room, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. Mid-range prices, and worth booking ahead so you're not stood waiting with everyone hungry.
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.
