American · Mousehold Heath
Half a century in Norwich and still packing out the Mousehold site — this is the sort of loud, cheerful American diner where nobody notices a toddler shrieking. Buggy access is easy, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, free parking outside, and outdoor seating for when you need the fresh air. Portions are enormous: expect around £10–15 for a large hotdog and chips, and most adults can't finish. Families rave about the baby back ribs with maple and red pepper glaze, the cauliflower rocks and the huge range of burgers, and one regular of forty years says the staff will always put things right. Milkshakes and soda floats are hit and miss, and it's busy enough at weekends that booking is sensible. Vegan options are on the menu too.

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.
