Restaurant · Southwell
Southwell is one of those Nottinghamshire towns you might visit for a wander and then need feeding, and this mid-priced restaurant is set up for families arriving with children in tow. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, so a toddler is catered for without a fuss, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without folding it down at the door. Vegan and gluten-free dishes are on offer if anyone in the group eats differently, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when the little ones need air. It's worth booking ahead, and the noise level tends to be moderate — comfortable enough that a chatty child won't stand out.

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.
