Bar & grill · South Shields
If you're in South Shields with kids in tow and want something more substantial than a quick bite, this grill spot handles the practical side well. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for, and the indoor soft play means restless children have somewhere to go between courses. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows. Vegan and gluten-free options cover most of the table, though it's a lively room rather than a quiet one — and 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.
