Down by the water at Plymouth Marina, this Asian street food spot has a big, bright, slightly bonkers dining room — pink walls, bananas hanging in the window — that children tend to find fascinating rather than intimidating, and the marina view buys you a few extra minutes at the table. Buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all sorted, there's outdoor seating, and free parking after midday (worth checking, as it shifts in summer). The staff are patient and happy to steer you round the menu, which sprawls across Thai, Vietnamese, Korean and more — the Massaman and Panang curries with coconut rice draw the loudest praise, and portions are generous. Two honest notes: even one chilli is properly hot, so order carefully for younger palates, and it fills up at lunch and dinner, so book.
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.
