Restaurant · Birmingham
Handy if you're doing Birmingham with children in tow — it sits right by New Street Station, so you're not hauling a pram far from the platform. Breakfast is where it earns its keep: the £10.99 unlimited spread covers cereals, fruit, yoghurts, toast and juices alongside hot items cooked fresh, with fried eggs done to order and pain au chocolat that regulars single out. High chairs and a kids' menu are in place, and the team has a soft spot for little ones — one family arrived to find sweets and toys left in the room for their three-year-old. Rooms come up spotless and, despite the city-centre spot, stay quiet enough for a proper night's sleep. Worth knowing: reception isn't always staffed, so check-in can mean using the automated machines, and the free wifi is unreliable.
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.
Conveyor-belt sushi in Grand Central with high chairs, a kids' menu and quick service — though portions are small and bills add up.

Lively, colourful Lebanese spot with a kids' menu, high chairs and standout vegan mezze — busy at peak times, so book ahead.
