Expect a bit of a buzz here — it's a lively spot, so a toddler's chatter or a wobbly moment won't be the thing anyone notices. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, which takes the guesswork out of feeding little ones, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a lift-and-shuffle at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the trickier eaters, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to let restless children stretch between courses. Worth booking ahead, as tables need reserving.

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.
