Restaurant · Brighton
Set about ten minutes' walk from the station, this is one of the busier branches of the chain, so a queue can build by midday — arrive at opening and you'll walk straight to a table. The long benches and booths mean pram space is easier to find here than in a tightly packed dining room, though the shared seating gets lively at peak times. High chairs, a kids' menu and plenty of vegan options are all sorted, and food generally lands fast, which matters when someone's patience is running out. The chicken gyoza, katsu curry and bang bang cauliflower get the most praise; opinions on the ramen broth are mixed, some finding it thin. It is pricier than other noodle spots in town, but the weekday lunch deal at around £12 including a drink is genuinely good value.

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.
