Restaurants · Hexham
Tucked into the middle of Hexham, this is a small neighbourhood Greek place where the food does the talking — feta, chargrilled meats and pitta that people still mention weeks later, plus a kleftiko worth ordering if you've never had it. Portions are big enough that finishing a main is genuinely a challenge, and a spread of mezze suits sharing with children who want to pick. The children's menu is proper Greek food rather than nuggets, and priced sensibly; the baklava and chocolate brownie tend to disappear fast. Food arrives quickly, which matters when someone's patience is thin, and the staff are warm and unhurried. High chairs, vegan dishes and free parking are all sorted. It's a compact room with Greek music playing, so it can feel lively at busy times — worth booking at weekends.

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.
