Fish & chips · Middlesbrough
A weekday lunch with a toddler is easy enough here — high chairs are ready and there's a kids' menu, so you can walk in without ringing ahead to check. Prices sit at the cheap end, which helps when you're feeding two or three small people who may only eat half of it. Gluten-free options are available too, worth knowing if one of your children can't have the standard batter. The moderate noise level means a chatty child or a wobbly moment won't stand out.
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.
