Restaurant · Hastings
Getting in is straightforward — step-free access means you can push the buggy through without folding it, and free parking takes the stress out of arriving with a toddler and all the kit. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, so you can order for little ones without negotiating, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It tends to be quiet rather than boisterous, which suits a baby who naps in the pram but means older children shouting won't disappear into background noise. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to escape if fidgeting sets in, and it's worth booking ahead.
