Cherwell Boathouse Restaurant
Riverside Oxford dining with room for prams, a kids' menu and punts to watch — pricey, and the small car park fills fast.

Pub · Oxford
Lively is the word here — this is a busy, chatty sort of pub, so a bit of toddler noise won't turn heads, though it does mean conversation across the table takes some effort. The practical side is well covered: high chairs and a kids' menu mean you can arrive with a small child and not think too hard about it, and step-free access saves the buggy-lifting palaver. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to take a child who's had enough of sitting still, and free parking is a genuine relief when you're unloading little ones. Gluten-free options are available, and it's worth booking ahead.

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.
