The Rockstone
Fireside pub with free parking, a kids' menu, and standout Asian street food — bao buns, karaage and truffle-salted fries.
Restaurant · Southampton
Good news for anyone juggling different ages: there's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is properly catered for, while older children get the run of the outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options make it easier if someone in the family eats differently. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which usually works in a parent's favour, 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.
