Pizza · Eastbourne
A pizza chain in Eastbourne, this branch of PizzaExpress covers the basics that make eating out with small children workable: a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access, so you can arrive with a buggy and a hungry toddler without a plan. There's outdoor seating if your two need air, and vegan and gluten-free options mean a fussy eater or an allergy isn't a dealbreaker. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is usually good news when someone's shouting about breadsticks. Booking ahead is worth it, and at ££ it won't sting.

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.
