Family · Portsmouth
A good bet for a mixed-age group, since the kids' menu and high chairs mean a toddler is sorted while older children order from the same list. Step-free access in means you can push a buggy straight through without hunting for someone to hold a door. There are outdoor tables if your children do better with room to fidget, and gluten-free options if someone in the group needs them. It sits at the cheaper end of the scale, and the noise level is middling — enough hum that a grizzly two-year-old won't be the loudest thing in the room.
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.
