Restaurant · Oxford
Turning up here with small children takes very little planning — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and a step-free way in, so a buggy and a hungry toddler are both accounted for. Free parking means you're not circling the streets of Oxford with everyone strapped in the back. Gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them, and the outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a child needs to move about. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which usually works in a family's favour, and booking ahead is recommended.

All-vegetarian park café with fast breakfasts, kids' menu and lovely outdoor tables — busy indoors, but well priced.
Cosy Oxford Polish spot with homemade pierogi, huge portions, free parking and staff who bring out drawing supplies for little ones.
