The Cooper Rose - JD Wetherspoon
Budget-friendly Sunderland pub with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating — lively enough that noise goes unnoticed.

Persian · Sunderland
Expect a bit of buzz here — it's a lively room, so a toddler having a moment won't be the loudest thing happening, and that takes the pressure off. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can walk in with a little one and not have to improvise a meal from side dishes. Step-free access means the buggy comes straight in rather than being folded at the door, and there are vegan and gluten-free choices if anyone in the family eats differently. Worth booking ahead, and prices sit at the gentle end.

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.
