Lively Southsea tapas spot with step-free buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating — booking recommended.
Café · Southsea
Getting through the door is straightforward here — step-free access means you can push the buggy straight in rather than folding it on the doorstep, and there are high chairs waiting once you're settled. There's a kids' menu, so no negotiating over a grown-up plate, plus vegan and gluten-free options if someone in the family eats differently. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a toddler needs to wriggle, and it's a lively room, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. Worth booking ahead.

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.
