Indian · Oxford
An Indian restaurant in Oxford where the practicalities are already sorted — there's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler in tow doesn't require a strategy. Vegan and gluten-free dishes mean a family with different diets around one table can all order properly rather than picking around the edges. It's a lively room, which is good news if your two are the chatty sort; nobody's going to notice a bit of noise. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it won't undo the week.
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.
