Bar & grill · Kettering
Handy for a mixed-age group, this Kettering grill has the practical things sorted: a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access so a buggy isn't a problem at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options mean a fussy eater or an allergy in the group doesn't derail the meal. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, which suits older children happy to sit and chat more than a toddler mid-meltdown. Prices sit at the budget end, 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.
