Restaurant · Cardiff
Sitting inside St David's, this is a handy stop when everyone's flagging mid-shop and you need food fast. It's spacious and clean, so a pram isn't a problem, and there are high chairs and a kids' menu. Even at peak shopping times the kitchen turns orders around quickly, which matters when someone's melting down over a sauce choice. The fried chicken is the thing to order — fresh, properly crispy, with a big range of sauces to work through — alongside seasoned fries and Texas toast, and the thick, icy milkshakes usually win the children over. Staff stay patient and welcoming even when it's heaving. Worth knowing: it's lively and loud at busy times, and prices feel steep for fast food given the portion sizes, with sandwiches noticeably milder than the chicken.
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.
