Chinese · Brighton
Bringing a toddler here doesn't need much thought — there's a kids' menu, high chairs ready, and step-free access so you can get a buggy in without a struggle. Gluten-free options mean a child with a wheat allergy or coeliac isn't stuck with plain rice, which isn't always a given with Chinese food. The moderate noise level is the sweet spot: enough chatter that a grumbling baby won't turn heads, but not so loud you can't hear each other. It's worth booking ahead, and at ££ it won't feel like a splurge.
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.
