Restaurant · Nottingham
A small, calm spot in the middle of Nottingham that suits a family lunch better than its size suggests — it's quiet rather than clattery, so nobody has to shout over a toddler, and there's seating inside with high chairs, buggy access and a kids' menu. The staff talk you through the menu, suggest sauces and hand over genuinely generous portions. The lamb is cut from real meat rather than the usual processed stuff, wrapped Berlin-style in soft bread; the chicken shawarma box with fries and cool, freshly cut salad is the safe crowd-pleaser, and the falafel is worth ordering in its own right. Boxes are good value and the place is spotless — salad gets restocked in front of you. It's compact, so a big pram plus a queue at peak times can feel tight. One family called it "a real gem".
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.
