Restaurant · Sunderland
Getting through the door is straightforward here, with step-free access so you won't be lifting a buggy up any steps to get settled. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you bringing your own solution, and vegan and gluten-free options mean a family with different needs at the table can all order properly. It's on the lively side, which usually works in your favour with small children — a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. Booking ahead is worth doing, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather be outside.

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.
