The Half Moon
A well-liked Spennymoor pub with outdoor seating and fair ££ prices, rated 4.6 across 184 reviews.

Pub · Bishop Auckland
A quiet village pub suits a mixed-age group well — the sort of place where a toddler in a high chair and an older child working through the kids' menu can both be happy without anyone feeling rushed. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without lifting it over a threshold, and there's outdoor seating when little ones need to stretch their legs mid-meal. Gluten-free options are on hand if one of yours needs them. It's worth ringing ahead to book, especially as it's a small, calm sort of spot rather than a bustling one.

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.
