Gastropub · Sunderland
Turning up with children here is straightforward — there are high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free access, so a buggy and a hungry toddler don't need a strategy. It sits in the mid-price bracket, and gluten-free options mean a child with a coeliac diagnosis or a wheat allergy isn't stuck with chips. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs air or a wriggle. It's lively rather than hushed, which suits a noisy table, though it's 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.
