Kiddie friendly restaurants

[seashell]

Yes we lots of zizzi restaurants down South, i think they are most places?

We basically have Brewers Fayre or Pizza Hut to choose from locally - as well as fast food places like McD's, BK & KFC. I prefer Brewers Fayre, not too keen on Pizza though I don't mind it every now & again and I love the smothered chicken at BF

I've not come across anywhere round here that does provide childrens cutlery, I usually take my own and Ryan is getting to the stage now that he can handle adult cutlery (or should that read 'has a paddy if he doesn't have the same cutlery as Mummy'?? )

I went out for dinner with my Mum and my 2 kids last night - we got 2 individual pizzas between the 4 of us I don't know how anyone can eat a big pizza!

We always go the the downstairs restaurant at The Tate when we're in London. It's VERY child-friendly and the food is good too (for everyone). The added bonus is that you can knacker them a bit before going in with a good run on the Millenium Bridge

I don't think that I end up in places where it is "child friendly" as such because it just depends on what I feel like eating! JJ is so used to eating in restuarants/cafes that he behaves really well and even if they don't have a high chair most places have found me a cushion so that I can stick it under him so that he could reach the table.

I love going to a place in Covent Garden - cannot remember what it is called, Rock something or other and they do have high chairs and the staff are brilliant with JJ and the food is lovely. Most of the time though in Central London I eat in my own cafe/restaurant and we welcome children at all times but we don't have highchairs or baby changing facilities - sorry, but we don't mind any broken plates!!!!!!!

Another thumbs up for Pizza Express, and it's my fave too. Have never seen a children's menu, that would be a great idea.
I think it is completely normal to eat a whole pizza oneself, I wouldn't consider sharing!!

Do people actually share pizzas? erm, I can eat a 14" to myself!

I'm obviously a lightweight - 2 slices of the individual pan pizzas at Pizza Hut fill me up!

I know not a restaurant as such but we had a really brilliant experience at a Wetherspoons not too long ago. There was a pretty good kids menu and they even provided kids cutlery. But I think they do vary massively as we have been to others which have failed miserably...

I remembered this thread from ages ago and just though I would let those of you that eat in Pizza Express know that they do all of there pizzas in half the size if you ask for it.

Well they do in my local one so as it is a big chain I guess they would do it in all of them.

This weekend William had his very own Fiorentina and he loved it.

I take my mate and her baby to Harvesters - which vary, but do provide a reasonable kids menu and plenty of clean high chairs with proper tray and generous changing facilities.

Also Caldicote Arms near Milton Keynes is good, with an extensive menu for kids (which isn't just chips!). Only let down was the high chairs. Most were wooden with no tray and the ones with tray were filthy and mate didn't wish to clean them!

So, bubba ended up redoing the carpet in a stunning shade of pea green and potato cream.......
