Restaurant · Banbury
Handy for a weekday lunch when you want somewhere calm rather than chaotic — the noise level here tends towards quiet, so a baby might actually nap in the buggy. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive with a toddler and not have to negotiate anything, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. Step-free access and free parking take the faff out of the arrival, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a child needs to wriggle. Worth booking ahead.
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.
