Restaurant · Sunderland
Expect a bit of a buzz here — this is a lively room, so the odd toddler shriek or dropped fork won't turn heads, which takes real pressure off a meal out with small children. High chairs and a kids' menu mean you can arrive with a hungry two-year-old and not need a backup plan, and there's step-free access if you're pushing a buggy in. Vegan and gluten-free choices help if someone in the family eats differently, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a little one needs air. It's worth booking ahead rather than chancing 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.
