Fish & chips · Hartlepool
A sit-down fish and chip spot in Hartlepool with the practical things sorted for families: high chairs are available, there's a kids' menu, and step-free access means you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold before you've even ordered. Gluten-free options are on offer too, which takes the negotiating out of a meal if someone in the family avoids wheat. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room. At around ££, it's an easy, low-fuss meal out with children in tow.

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.
