Eating out with kids can sometimes be something of a challenge (understatement of the year!) There are plenty of cafes, bars and restaurants in the Norwich area which really do welcome children and families so I’ve compiled a list of them here.
These places are not all ‘exclusively’ for families or children but they have all shown thoughtful touches or great facilities (things like pushchair access, changing facilities, highchairs and so on) or quite simply, have amazing cake/food!
At Norwich Mumbler we are always looking to ‘spread the word’ if we find out about any little gems, so if you know of a pub, restaurant or café that should be included in this listing then please contact us here.

Lunches with local flavours, classic English grills for dinner and a locally renowned carvery. The Brasserie is all about great food and an informal atmosphere – the kind of restaurant where you really feel at home, meals aren’t rushed and you’ll be tempted to linger longer for a delicious dessert.
