Restaurant · Nottingham
Handy if you're breaking up a city trip with children — it sits right in the centre, so you can walk to most things rather than wrestling a pram across town, and the adjoining Bar + Block does breakfast that people rate highly: good quality, properly hot, cooked well, with service that gets food out quickly. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the team are notably accommodating — parents have asked for a room away from the lift to cut down on noise at bedtime and been given one without fuss. Rooms are consistently clean and the beds comfortable, at a price that surprises people for a city-centre spot. Worth knowing: the communal carpets have seen better days, and it's a budget hotel rather than a treat — fit for purpose, not fancy.
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.
Roomy steakhouse with a kids' menu, high chairs and customisable sides; steaks vary, and it's pricier than a everyday family lunch.
Cheap, cheerful all-you-can-eat sushi with app ordering, high chairs and hot dishes that outshine the ramen — loud when busy.
Warm, family-run Greek café in Nottingham with generous gyros, famous baklava, a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor tables.
