Pesto at the White Horse
Sharing-style Italian plates, standout arancini and desserts, cosy traditional feel, kids' menu, high chairs and ample free parking.

Pub · Leicester
Proper pub food at mid-range prices, with a kids' menu so children get their own plate rather than picking at yours — and gluten-free options if someone in your group needs them. High chairs are there for babies and toddlers, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without asking anyone to lift it. It tends to be quiet inside, which suits a meal where you'd rather not compete with noise, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows. Free parking, and 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.
