Restaurant · Reading
A lively spot in the centre of Reading's Berkshire dining scene, this is somewhere you can bring the children without much fuss — high chairs and a kids' menu are both sorted, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated. Step-free access means getting a buggy in and out won't be a struggle, and gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. It does get noisy, which is good news if your youngest is having a wobble, less so if you were hoping for a quiet chat. Worth booking a table ahead rather than chancing it.
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.
A warmly-rated Reading café with high chairs and mid-range prices — an easy stop for a coffee or a bite with little ones.
