Thai · Norwich
Thai food out with small children can mean a lot of juggling, but this Norwich spot takes most of it off your hands — there's a kids' menu, high chairs waiting, and step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold with one hand. Gluten-free options are marked, which helps if someone in your group needs them. It's a quiet room rather than a bustling one, so a chatty toddler will be heard, though that also means a calmer meal if yours are past that stage. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it won't be a splurge.
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.
Tiny family-run Italian gelateria with a fast-moving queue, spotless counter, rotating flavours and two scoops for under £5.
Lively Norwich café and bakery with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and vegan and gluten-free choices.
A grand former bank with soaring ceilings, a kids' menu and pram-friendly space — lively and loud, so book ahead.
