Eating out
Lunch for you.
Fun for them.
Restaurants, hotels and pubs where the children have something organised while you eat: a supervised kids’ club during lunch, an entertainer at Sunday lunch, or a chance to make their own pizza.

Researched by Tumble in October 2026 from each restaurant's own website (or the website of the company running its kids' club). Tumble doesn't take these bookings. Kids' clubs, times and prices change and some need booking ahead, so check with the restaurant before you go. Where we don't give a price, age range or time, it means the restaurant doesn't publish one.
