The Willows Cafe Bistro
A Norwich café with a gated upstairs play room and toy boxes, friendly staff, fast food and free parking.

Restaurant · Norwich
A proper old village pub at ££ prices, and one that hides its size well — it looks small from the street, then opens out inside with plenty of tables, so a pram isn't a problem and there's free parking (you'll need to tap your registration into the tablet by the bar). High chairs are there, the children's menu has a decent spread of options, and the staff tend to be quick and friendly, checking on allergies when you order. The mixed grill gets the most praise — generous, with good sausages and gammon and a surprisingly fresh salad — and the Sunday roast has its fans, though the potatoes and veg can be hit and miss. Weekends and Sunday lunchtimes get busy and noisy with a chatty regular crowd. Outdoor seating helps when little ones need air.

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.
