Eating at a vegetarian restaurant is certainly
one way to ensure that your children have at
least some of their five a day; they’ll have no
choice! But at The Veg Box in Canterbury they
won’t mind that in the least. Food includes the
salad box where you can choose your own
salad ingredients, tasty homemade soup
(different every day) and plenty of cake – all
made in the café itself. There is no separate
menu for children, as everything is made with
everyone in mind. And if the youngsters do
get a little bored while their parents sit and
relax for a while, that’s just fine; at The Veg
Box there is a play area filled with books and
toys – the kids can even eat there. The Castle Lake Brewers Fayre is in the perfect
place for a great family dinner if you’ve been
for a great day out at Leeds Castle, Kent Life,
or even Rochester. Located in Leybourne, West
Malling, it’s a great way to enjoy some good,
honest food at a great price after a family day
of fun – or even just because you fancy going
out! Inside there is a huge soft play area and
climbing frame as well as a quieter chill out
area for children which has a TV and loads of
bean bags to relax on. There is also a large
climbing frame outside, so no matter what
time of year, or time of day, the children will
be entertained whilst you get to actually finish
an entire meal. They probably won’t want to
leave, so why not treat yourself to a coffee to
finish things off nicely? The kids’ menu is
extensive so there is going to be at least one
thing your children like including the ‘nacho
splatcho’ served with cucumber sticks and a
cheesy yoghurt dip, the Bash Street Burger
and mini doughnuts with chocolate dipping
sauce. Using only the finest and freshest fish in their
dishes, this is possibly the very best fish and
chip restaurant in the area – and when it
comes to welcoming children, the atmosphere
is totally child friendly. Parents don’t need to
worry about the quality of the food; it’s
excellent, and everything is cooked on the
premises ensuring premium products.
Although this is a traditional fish and chip
restaurant, there is more on the menu besides
(just in case the children don’t fancy fish, as
is sometimes the case). You can also order
burgers, pies, an all day breakfast or even a
steak. There is even a breakfast menu. Plus –
bonus – kids eat free on Sundays!
