Riverside gastro pub with two garden areas, big free car park, generous homemade pies — book ahead, and expect a wait at busy times.

Restaurant · Newark
A ££ spot in Newark with a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive with a toddler and know there's something on the table for them without any negotiating. Gluten-free options mean a child who can't do wheat isn't stuck with chips and a shrug. There's outdoor seating for when someone needs to burn off energy between courses, and step-free access throughout — no lifting a buggy up steps. It gets lively, which is good cover for a noisy two-year-old, though 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.
