Peperoncino
Mixed-age Italian in Southsea with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access and vegan and gluten-free choices; booking advised.
Tapas bar · Southsea
Spanish small plates mean a table full of things to pick at, which suits children who want a bit of this and a bit of that rather than one big plate — and there's a kids' menu if yours would rather have something familiar. High chairs are available, so a baby or toddler is properly sorted, and step-free access means you're not hauling the buggy up steps at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options are on the menu too, which helps if someone in the family eats differently. It gets lively, so a noisy toddler won't stand out, and 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.
