Where to go? Well, tried and tested is always a good idea. You know the menu, the people, the place and you know your kids will love it. Carvery style means minimum waiting, and restaurants with indoor games areas and mini soft plays are often a winner. Some restaurants have outdoor play equipment that is so amazing you may want to have your tea there as well as your lunch! Most places serving food are pleased to welcome children, and offer dedicated kids’ menus and activities for them to enjoy at the table. Children of all ages can make the most of a buffet style meal. Chinese, Indian, even pie buffets, for example, are perfect for trying a bit of this and a bit of that, and discovering new foods your youngsters like. Wherever you go, do ring ahead to book. You can request high chairs, a quiet table in the corner, or make the restaurant aware of any other requirements in plenty of time. You can also check your chosen place to eat definitely has a table available at your preferred time. The last thing you want is to turn up for dinner to be told they are full. Having to find somewhere to eat with hangry children, if plan A fails, is rarely easy. We probably don’t need to tell you to bring oodles of things to keep your youngsters occupied.
Colouring books, stickers, pens, paper, magazines, readers, bears, dolls, tablets. Bring them all!!! Your kids may be content to join in with the chatter, and be so happy eating, you may not even need them. A newborn baby may well sleep all the way through your meal, but it could be worth ordering something you can eat with one hand in case your dinky diner wakes up, and you are called for feeding duty. If you are in the middle of the toddler years, when your baby is at the restaurant for a good time, not a long time, and prefers exploring to eating, take heart. In a few short years, they will be nine, insisting they eat from the adult menu, and still have their eyes on your pudding after they’ve demolished their own. Do have a little tidy around the floor and table before you leave. No one can help dropping the odd chip, but baby-led weaning size chunks of veg are best picked up. Finally, don’t be nervous about taking your little gnawers out for lunch. Your servers will be well used to welcoming families, and many of your fellow diners will have children of their own, so there’s pretty much nothing your motley crew can do that they haven’t experienced before. People are always happy to help. Bon appetit!
