Bar & grill · Reading
Handy for a mixed-age table where one child wants a burger and another needs something off the kids' menu — and with vegan and gluten-free options too, nobody's stuck with dry chips. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is genuinely catered for, and the outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when a little one needs to wriggle. Free parking makes the whole trip easier when you're unloading a buggy and a bag of snacks. It's a budget-friendly spot with a moderate hum rather than hush, though 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.
