The Fens
Step-free pub in Hartlepool with high chairs, a kids' menu and gluten-free options — lively, and worth booking ahead.

Pizza · Hartlepool
Getting through the door is straightforward here — step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it on the doorstep, and high chairs are ready when you sit down. There's a kids' menu, so nobody has to negotiate over a shared portion, and gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. Noise sits at a moderate level, which usually means a bit of chatter to absorb a toddler's noise without anyone feeling watched. Booking ahead is worth doing so you're not standing in a doorway with a hungry child.

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.
