Sandwich shop · Stoke-on-Trent
Tucked next to the theatre in Hanley, this is a sandwich place worth the faff of booking — and you will need to book, because it fills up fast. Portions are big enough that they'll hand you a box for the half you can't finish, which suits sharing with a smaller appetite at the table. The toasties, tater tots and the Caesar and Spice Up Ya Life slamwiches all get raved about, and there's a proper spread of vegan options plus gluten-free adjustments if you ask. It's cosy without being cramped, with a relaxed buzz rather than a hush, so nobody's noticing your toddler. High chairs, buggy access, a kids' menu and outdoor seating are all sorted, and the loos are unusually well stocked. Food can be slow when it's heaving, and prices sit slightly above what you'd expect.
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.
Loud, warm and cheerful pizzeria where the homemade pizza arrives fast — kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor tables.
