Lively is the honest word for it — there's a hum to the place, so a chatty toddler or a wobbly moment won't be the loudest thing in the room. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, which takes the guesswork out of feeding a small one, and gluten-free dishes if someone at your table needs them. Step-free access means you can push the buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. It's worth booking ahead, and at ££ you're not paying over the odds for the peace of mind.
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.
