Restaurant · Chesterfield
Ordering here works differently to most places, and the staff explain it as you walk in — seat yourself wherever suits, then order at the bar or through the app, which means no queuing at a counter with a fractious toddler in tow. That system also keeps things moving: drinks land fast and food follows in good time even when the room is busy, and cutlery and napkins arrive the moment an order goes through. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, outdoor seating and vegan options, plus a play area that families genuinely notice, and dogs are welcome too. Cosy armchair corners suit an afternoon slump. Desserts get the loudest praise — cookie dough or chocolate brownie with ice cream — though one visitor found their cookie dough over-baked, and two people eating properly can nudge £55.
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.
