Restaurant · Leatherhead
Family meals here don't need much negotiating: there's a kids' menu, so children have their own choices, and high chairs mean a baby or toddler is sorted without you improvising. Gluten-free options are available too, which helps if one of your children eats differently from the rest. Free parking and step-free access make the arrival part easy when you've got a buggy and small people to unload, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days or when a toddler needs a change of scene. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, and booking is recommended.
