Japanese Kitchen SORA Café & Izakaya Tapas
Cosy, authentically Japanese and warm with children — book ahead, order the tapas and desserts, and expect a slightly steep bill.

Restaurant · Nottingham
A Nottingham grill where the bar side is as much of a draw as the plates — bottomless brunch with wings in several flavours, homemade wedges, onion rings and dips gets the loudest praise, and the value comes up again and again. For families, there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access, tables outside and free parking, which takes the usual stress out of arriving. Come early: it's calm around six with candles on the tables, and close to full by eight, when the music and a big group can make it genuinely noisy. Steaks are the thing to order, with the chips beating the fries; the homemade garlic bread, meatballs and chocolate tart also earn repeat mentions. Service is attentive once you're seated, though there isn't always someone to greet you at the door.

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.
