Fish & chips · Southsea
Handy for a Saturday lunch when the children are hungry now and nobody wants a fuss. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is properly catered for, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it on the doorstep. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the trickier eaters in the group. It's mid-priced and moderately noisy, so a bit of chatter from your table won't stand out — worth booking ahead, as they recommend it.
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.
