Restaurants · Skegness
There's a proper sit-down treat feel to this place, and with free parking, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu it manages that without making families feel like an inconvenience. Tables by the window look out at the windmill itself, which buys you a few minutes of distraction. Little touches land well with children — vegetable crisps arrive with the drinks, warm cobs and butter follow, and water turns up without asking. Orders come out quickly and sensibly paced, and the kitchen handles fussy and restricted eaters properly, from gluten-free to a very limited diet, with no fuss made. Pies with proper hand-cut chips, duck, and the puddings get the loudest praise. It's a treat-price meal rather than a casual stop, and the decor is dated, but one family called it a real gem.
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.
