Indian · South Shields
A quiet Indian dining room is a gentler prospect than a busy one when you've got children who take a while to settle, and this South Shields spot keeps things calm enough for a proper conversation over dinner. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you packing snacks as insurance, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than folding up in the doorway. Gluten-free options are available too, which helps if someone in the family needs them. It's 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.
