Restaurant · Ipswich
Ipswich parents heading to the Corn Exchange or just after a decent lunch will find this an easy stop with children in tow — buggies get in without a fight, high chairs are there, and there's a kids' menu plus a beer garden out the back that takes the pressure off when little ones need to move. The team are the real draw: they'll decorate a table for a birthday, bring a cake out with candles, and generally make a fuss of people, which goes a long way with a restless family. Food leans grill — the rib eye and tomahawk steak get the loudest praise, and the Tingly Ted burger has its devotees, along with crisp Japanese-style fried chicken. Not everything lands; the vegan burger has disappointed, and it's worth booking, as they often have several events running at once.
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.
Step-free entry, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking, in a lively room where a noisy toddler won't stand out.
