The Pepperpot
Ambitious, special-occasion cooking in Derby's old DRI building, with gardens, high chairs and a good-value set lunch.

Vegetarian · Derby
A mixed-age group works well here, since a kids' menu and high chairs mean toddlers are catered for while older children get a proper meal from a vegetarian and vegan kitchen. Gluten-free options are on the cards too, so a family with different diets doesn't have to split up over dinner. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door, and there's outdoor seating when everyone needs more room. It's a lively room, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out — 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.
