The Riverside Restaurant
Canal-view hotel dining room in Manchester with fast, genuinely warm service, a kids' menu, high chairs and a much-loved sticky toffee pudding.

Restaurant · Salford
A weekday lunch stop in Salford that takes the guesswork out of it — there's a kids' menu, high chairs waiting, and step-free access so you can wheel a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. Gluten-free options are on hand too, which helps if one of yours eats differently from the rest. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty toddler won't feel like the loudest thing in the room. Mid-range prices for a straightforward family meal.

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.
