Pub · Hayling Island
A mixed-age group can settle in here without much fuss — there's a kids' menu, high chairs for the smallest ones, and step-free access if you're pushing a buggy through the door. Outdoor seating gives older children somewhere to spread out when they've finished eating and can't sit still any longer. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which usually works in your favour with young children. Gluten-free options are available, and it's 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.
