Bar & grill · Reading
Steak and grill food at the cheaper end of the scale, which usually means recognisable plates a child will actually eat — and there's a proper kids' menu alongside, so no negotiating over a smaller portion of something. High chairs are here, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a lift-and-shuffle at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the trickier eaters, free parking takes the stress out of arriving, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather your table not be indoors. It's moderately noisy, so a chatty toddler won't stand out, and booking ahead is worth doing.
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.
