Restaurant · Southampton
Somewhere that solves the "everyone wants something different" problem — breakfast through to evening drinks, with burgers, pizzas, tapas, salads and properly good vegan and gluten-free options on one long menu. The mismatched furniture and cosy, quirky rooms make it forgiving with children; there are board games to hand, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, plus outdoor seating and big open windows for people-watching. Staff have been known to shuffle tables around to fit a party of four adults and two small children in on a rammed Saturday, and food came out fast. The shakshuka, tuna melt and birria toastie all get raved about, and there's an app for ordering. It does get busy, and service can slow when it does — one parent found the wait to be seated longer than it should have been.
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.
