Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
A gorgeous room — all greenery and warm light — with plenty of space to park a pram and enough general buzz that a grizzly toddler won't be the loudest thing in there. High chairs and a kids' menu are sorted, and buggy access is straightforward. The staff are genuinely warm and helpful when you catch them, though catching them is the catch: people regularly wait a few minutes just to be seated, and service can drift between courses. Ordering is done through your phone (email and number required, no skipping), but you can order at the bar instead — worth knowing, as the app doesn't show special pricing. Food comes out hot, portions are generous on the hanging kebabs and fish and chips, and the onion rings and seasoned fries get real praise. Drinks are steep — check prices before ordering.
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.
