Breakfast · Oxford
A weekday lunch in Oxford with a toddler in tow is a lot less fraught when high chairs and a kids' menu are both a given — you can walk in and get on with it rather than working out logistics first. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you instead of being folded at the door, and there's outdoor seating for when a small person needs air. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier or trickier eaters at your table. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, so nobody will mind a bit of noise, and 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.
