For a long time it was widely accepted that in order to dine out with the kids your best bet was choosing a chain restaurant or family-friendly pub.

Reliability, space and menus aimed at children obviously are a draw, but you’d be surprised how many independent restaurants in Birmingham can accommodate families.

Whether you’re looking for burgers, pizza or something a little bit more fancy, there are restaurants, pubs and cafes that are perfect for dining out as a family.

Best to book in advance as it gets quite busy, particularly at the weekend. Check out the Instagram page for more information.
