Vegan · Manchester
A vegan pizzeria that works just as well for children as it does for grown-ups — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access through the door and outdoor tables for warmer days. The pizza bases get the loudest praise, especially the truffle one, alongside mac & cheese, Caesar salad and desserts people describe as incredible. Portions on the small plates can be a bit mean, so order generously if everyone's hungry. Staff are patient in a way that matters with children: one visitor with multiple severe allergies said the team answered "101 questions" without a flicker, and gluten-free and dairy-free eaters are properly looked after. It's busy, so book if you can — walk-ins are warned about waits, though these tend to come in faster than promised. A service charge is added, and paying via the app costs an extra 49p.
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.
