Shawarma · Portsmouth
Somewhere to head when the kids are hungry and you haven't the energy to think it through — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access so the buggy comes straight in. The Turkish and Middle Eastern shawarma menu includes gluten-free options, which helps if one of yours has to avoid it. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a chattier toddler won't stand out. At around ££ it's a fair shout for a weekday tea with children in tow.

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.
