Indian · South Shields
A South Shields curry house where the kitchen turns out the familiar things children tend to go for — mild, creamy dishes with rice or naan to tear at, and portions of plain bread that keep a fussy eater busy. There's a proper kids' menu, so no negotiating over a scaled-down adult plate, and high chairs mean you don't need to bring your own. Step-free access makes the buggy a non-issue, and gluten-free options are available if that's something you're working around. It gets lively, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day, and it's worth ringing ahead to book.

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.
