Morocco Red, Eden Project, Cornwall
Situated slap-bang in one of Britain’s biggest family tourist attractions, the Eden Project’s restaurant gets an
'A for Effort', particularly as everything is cooked fresh to order. The site itself is massive, so you can always walk off the calories you put on.
We like: the gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options on the children’s menu
Where: Eden Project, St Austell, Cornwall
Price: £4.25 for a main course with a Cornish yoghurt for dessert.

Olive Press, North-West England
Set up by Michelin-starred chef Paul Heathcote, the four branches of Olive Press promise no chicken nuggets on their menus and all the burgers are chargrilled. Instead, kids get involved in the cooking process, by making their own pizzas.
We like: that 29p is donated to Childline for every children’s meal sold.
Where: Preston, Manchester, Liverpool and Warrington
Price: £6.99 for a main course and a dessert

Pizza Express, Nationwide
Good fresh food that takes next-to-no-time to cook - what more could any frazzled parent want? Add to that, the fun of seeing the pizza chefs throwing the dough in the sky and you have a combined education/nutrition experience with garlic bread thrown in!
We like: the online restaurant finder showing if baby changing is available
Where: Nationwide
Price: The classic Marguerita starts at just £4.95

Pizza Hut, Nationwide
Recently voted Family Restaurant of the Year by half a million parents in the Tommy’s Parent-Friendly Awards, Pizza Hut offers highchairs and babychanging facilities in most of its restaurants. The no-smoking rule throughout the chain also makes it very child-friendly.
We like: the price!
Where: Nationwide
Price: £2.99 for a child’s meal – choice of pizza, chicken or pasta and a drink choice which includes milk, Fruit Shoots and orange juice

The Victoria at Holkham, Norfolk
A great family favourite, the Victoria is situated just a few minutes from the white sands of Holkham Bay. There’s a playground in the garden at the back, a separate menu for the kids and the staff are extremely friendly. Best of all, once you’ve finished lunch you can walk off the calories on the beach.
We like: this restaurant/hotel’s perfect location
Where: Holkham, Norfolk
Price: £6.50 for two courses
Click here for the Victoria website.
Yellow River Café, Nationwide
Ken Hom’s chain of family-friendly restaurants actively welcomes children – Hom is firmly of the belief that kids should learn to eat healthy food when they’re very young. Food is cooked fresh to order and there are highchairs and babychanging facilities available.
We like: the weekend buffet – great for hungry families.
Where: Islington, Portsmouth, Solihull, Bournemouth, Guildford, Staines, Reading
Price: Children’s bento box, starter, main course, choice of steamed rice or noodles and prawn crackers £5
