Cocotte is a rotisserie chicken restaurant with a genuinely relaxed, chilled-out vibe — the kind of place where a family dinner doesn't feel like hard work. The chicken is the star: marinated for 24 hours and cooked on the rotisserie until perfectly moist, it's the sort of simple, crowd-pleasing food that tends to go down well with children and grown-ups alike, though prices can creep up once you add sides. Highchairs are available, the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, there's some outdoor space, and vegan options are on the menu — just worth noting there's no baby-changing facility on site.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
