African · Plymouth
Small, family-run and easy to miss from the street, this Plymouth spot does Afro-Caribbean cooking people come back for — oxtail stew with rice and peas, curried goat, jerk chicken, jollof, and plantain fried properly. Portions are generous enough that one diner took half home in a free takeaway box, and a main with dumplings and a drink came to around £18, so a family can eat well without much damage. There are high chairs, a kids' menu and room to get a buggy in. Two honest notes: the decor is plain and unfussy, and service is hit and miss — some families are looked after warmly, others have sat a long while with nobody about — so go when you're not against the clock, or order it as takeaway instead.
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.
