Fish & chips · Lincoln
Proper chippy food is one of the easier sells with kids — most will happily work through a small portion of fish and chips, and there's a children's menu here if you'd rather order off that. Gluten-free options mean a coeliac child isn't stuck with a bag of crisps while everyone else eats. High chairs and step-free access take the stress out of arriving with a baby in a buggy, and the outdoor seating is handy if your toddler needs to be somewhere they can wriggle. It's worth ringing ahead, and at £ a family meal here won't sting.
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.
