Restaurant · Reading
Expect a bit of a buzz here rather than hushed calm, which is good news when your toddler is having a loud day — nobody will be turning round. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive with small children and not have to think ahead, and gluten-free options if that's something you juggle. Step-free access means you can push the buggy straight in instead of hunting for someone to help with the doors. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a child needs to wriggle, and it's an inexpensive stop.
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.
A relaxed café inside Reading's Museum of English Rural Life, with high chairs and vegan options for the whole family.
A laid-back Reading coffee shop serving fair-trade coffee, organic milk, and sweet or savoury snacks for a relaxed family stop.
A cafe inside Reading's Royal Berkshire Hospital with high chairs on hand, handy for a coffee and a break during your visit.
