Lively Southsea spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and vegan and gluten-free options; booking advised.
Restaurant · Portsmouth
The atmosphere here runs lively, so a bit of toddler chatter or a dropped fork won't turn heads — handy when you're not in the mood to shush anyone through a meal. High chairs and a kids' menu are both sorted, and there's step-free access if you're arriving with a buggy rather than folding one at the door. Gluten-free options are available too, which takes one worry off the table if someone in the family needs them. It's mid-range on price, and worth booking ahead rather than chancing a walk-in with children in tow.

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.
