Original PFC on Mare St is a no-frills fried chicken spot that's won fans over with its seriously tasty chicken wings and smash burgers — the kind of straightforward, satisfying food that goes down well with hungry kids and parents alike. It's pushchair-friendly, and there's a children's menu to keep little ones sorted, with highchairs likely available if you need one. There's no outdoor seating or baby changing, so worth bearing that in mind, but for a quick, affordable family meal it does the job nicely.
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.
