Vegan Restaurant · Brighton
Plant-based Sunday roasts are the draw here — a giant plate with a Wellington that gets properly raved about and Yorkshire puddings good enough to fool a meat-eater, plus a sticky toffee pudding big enough for two to share. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and outdoor tables that make a warm day much easier with children in tow. Cheaper midweek deals — two-for-one burgers on Tuesdays, pasta on Wednesdays — soften the bill. Be straight with yourself about the snags, though: booking ahead is essential, popular dishes do run out, and service can be slow and scattered, with waits of up to an hour reported at busy sittings. Come when nobody's on the edge of a meltdown, or order something for the table early.
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.
Lively Brighton pub with step-free buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating — booking recommended.
Fresh little Roundhill café with a genuine kids' play area, quick service, huge toasties and famously good cakes and coffee.
Cosy Brighton pub with a big sun-trap garden, open fire in winter, generous Sunday roasts, high chairs and a warmly patient team.
