Hamburger · Reading
Getting in is straightforward — step-free access means you can push the buggy straight through rather than folding it up on the doorstep, and there are high chairs waiting once you're at a table. There's a kids' menu, so the children have something ordered without negotiation, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It's a lively room, which is good news if your toddler is going through a noisy phase — nobody will be turning round. Mid-range prices for burgers in Reading.

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.
