Fish & chips · Hastings
A chip shop with a kids' menu and high chairs makes lunch simple when you've got little ones in tow — no working out what a toddler can actually eat, no balancing anyone on your lap. It's step-free to get in, so you can push a buggy straight through rather than folding it up at the door, and there's outdoor seating if your children are the sort who do better with a bit of air and room to fidget. Gluten-free options are available too, which takes one worry off the table. Prices sit at the cheaper end, and the noise level is moderate — a bit of chatter from your table won't stand out.
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.
