Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
Handy for a Metro Centre trip with children in tow, this is a modern hotel restaurant where the food is genuinely decent rather than an afterthought — breakfast and evening meals both get good marks, with plenty of variety and prices that don't sting. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the dining room has an easy, unhurried feel with music playing, which makes it a reasonable spot to let everyone slow down after a day out. The real strength is the staff: patient, chatty and quick to help with bags and doors without being asked, which counts for a lot when you're juggling a pram. Parking is free — you type your registration into the machine inside. It's a hotel restaurant rather than a destination, so expect functional surroundings rather than charm.
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.
Warm welcome, wide menu and a standout Sunday roast, with free parking, high chairs and toys for little ones — book ahead.
