New Derby
Budget-friendly Sunderland spot with a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access; lively enough that noise blends in.

Pub · Sunderland
A Sunderland pub with the family basics properly sorted: high chairs, a children's menu and gluten-free options, so you can arrive with a toddler and a fussy eater without ringing ahead to check. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded and hauled about at the door. It tends to be on the quiet side, which suits a slow lunch but does mean a loud table feels more noticeable, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to take a restless child. Worth booking a table before you set off.

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.
