Dobson and Parnell
Smart Quayside restaurant with an open charcoal grill, kids' menu and high chairs — the weekday three-plate lunch is the affordable way in.

Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
Handy for a mixed-age group, this hotel restaurant covers the basics without fuss: high chairs for the little one, a kids' menu so you're not carving up an adult portion, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. Step-free access means the buggy comes straight in rather than being folded at the door. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a toddler having a moment won't be the loudest thing in the room. Prices are mid-range, which makes it an easy call for a family meal in Newcastle upon Tyne.

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.
