Restaurant · Leicester
Bring the toddler and order without a strategy session — there's a kids' menu, high chairs waiting, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them, so nobody's picking at a side of chips while everyone else eats. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your youngest is going through a loud phase. Step-free access means you can push the buggy straight in instead of folding it at the door, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a child needs air. Worth booking ahead.
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.
