Smugglers Cott Restaurant
Historic beamed Looe dining room with a treasure-map kids' menu, superb seafood and Sunday roasts — pricey, and food can be slow.

Restaurant · Looe
Tucked away in Looe with windows over the harbour, this is a seafood place that genuinely welcomes children — high chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access — while the grown-ups work through oysters, sardines, crispy squid with a sticky glaze, and a crab mac and cheese so rich that everyone at the table ends up trying it. The staff are attentive and unhurried, and there's no automatic service charge, which parents notice. Portions are generous and the pricing lands gentler than the quality suggests. Worth knowing: it can get very warm inside with no obvious air conditioning, the alcohol-free drinks are unremarkable, and it's a proper sit-down meal rather than a quick refuel, so book ahead. Dogs are welcome at lunch service. One family drives from London for it.

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.
