Parents – and grandparents – rejoice! There are loads of fantastic family dining deals to be had in Brighton and Hove this month, writes Nick Mosley.
Terre à Terre, Brighton
Let’s face it, nothing tastes better than free so its fantastic to see that my favourite Brighton restaurant of all time – Terre à Terre on East Street – is one of the most family-friendly and also pocket-friendly venues in Sussex.
The Terre à Terre ‘Little Terrors’ under 12’s menu is packed with dishes that even the pickiest eaters will love. And the best part? It’s not just delicious, it’s the perfect balance of healthy and fun, so you can feel good about what they’re eating too.
Available throughout the week apart from Saturday evenings, receive one complimentary main dish from the Little Terrors menu for every adult main dish ordered. The same applies to desserts.
With dishes including poached egg on toasted focaccia, spaghetti and tomato sauce, potato rosti with melted cheese and Terre à Terre’s classic ‘Better Batter’ halloumi and chips there’s plenty of choice. Oh, and organic baby food is always free for diners at no charge – simply ask your server.

The Canopy Café, Brighton
A relatively new addition to Seven Dials in Brighton, The Canopy Café goes from strength to strength, in fact on my last Saturday morning visit there was a queue outside of the door so owner Carla is definitely doing something right!
Open every day of the week from 9am - 4pm, their kids brunch menu is priced at just £5. Each hearty plate is guaranteed to fill even the hungriest little monkey. Choose from various sweet or savoury pancakes, eggs on toast, beans on toast, sausage sandwich, chicken and chips or a bacon butty. Kids drinks start at £1. There are also complimentary kids activity packs to keep young ones happily occupied.

Fatto a Mano, Brighton and Hove
This smallish chain of restaurants has become a Brighton staple for those who love Neapolitan-style pizza. For grown-ups the menu features a selection of traditional Italian snacks followed by choices of tomato-topped or white pizzas with vegan and gluten free base options. Little pizza fans aged 11 or under can enjoy either a classic margarita, salami or ham and mushroom pizza plus a tub of gelato or sorbet for just a fiver. Mamma mia!
Fatto a Mano has restaurants in Church Road, North Laine and Preston Circus
Bill’s Restaurant, Brighton
There’s plenty of choice for little people at Bill’s on North Road in Brighton. With two courses for £7.45 you can choose from a beef burger, chicken breast burger or breaded chicken goujons in a seeded bap plus fries and salad or four other main courses plus a choice of a side followed by one of the eight desserts.
It really is one of the most extensive children’s dining options in the city that doesn’t compromise on quality. They also have loads of vegetarian and vegan options and are very allergen aware, plus complimentary activity packs and crayons are available to keep fidgety fingers and busy minds engaged. What’s not to love?
