Kids Eat Out: Pizza Express

Last weekend we were invited to Pizza Express to check out their Ice Age Collision Course activity sheets that come with each Piccolo activity pack. We had an awesome meal and even got to make some dough shapes to take home too!

The Piccolo menu costs £6.95 and has three courses. Drinks are extra.

The Ice Age Collision Course activity sheet is really good and I can't wait to watch the film now!

For starter I had baked dough balls with garlic butter and salad. They were yummy, the salad was fresh and delicious too, no floppy carrots here! ;)

My pizza was a Pollo which is chicken, it was really delicious but I would have liked a little bit more cheese as it was quite tomatoey.

For dessert I had a sundae which is a scoop of vanilla gelato with either fruit or chocolate sauce and a mini cone on top. You also get a bambinoccino which is frothy milk with chocolate sprinkled on top. 

I love Pizza Express and can't wait to go again :)

Kids Eat Out: Colman's Fish & Chips South Shields

When we went on holiday at half term we went to South Shields for the day, Mum went on Trip Advisor to find the best Fish & Chips in South Shields and we discovered Colman's Fish & Chips. Colman's have a take away and a restaurant and we decided that we would sit and eat in the restaurant as it was a pretty chilly day.

The kids menu had an under the sea theme and was full of puzzles, anagrams and colouring for me to do! I really enjoyed this and even took it home to finish it.

On the kids menu (Under 12's) you could choose from...

• Fish & Chips - £4.50
• Fishcake & Chips - £4.50
• Sausage & Chips - £4.50
• Crispy Chicken Fillets & Chips - £4.50

Each item comes with Heinz Tomato Ketchup and a Simply Fruity drink or glass of cordial. 

I went for sausage and chips as I am not too keen on fish. I was a bit worried about the chips as they were so thick and usually they are very potatoey when they are thick but these were really really nice.   I ate everything on my plate as it was delicious! 

Mum & Dad had the fish & chips special and were very impressed. We will definitely go back on our next visit to South Shields :)

Kids Eat Out: GBK Metro Centre Gateshead

We have eaten at Gourmet Burger Kitchen loads of times, it is Mum & Dad's favourite place to go for burgers. Kids get their very own menu with a colouring sheet on the back so once we had ordered our burgers we sat and coloured them in.

The junior menu is £6.95 and for that you can choose a burger, side and a drink. You can even add a dessert for £1.00 if you wish but I am always too full for that.

The burgers you can choose from are cheeseburger, chicken burger or veggie burger. The sides are chunky skin-on or skinny fries, corn on the cob or a simple green salad. For drinks you can choose from fresh apple or orange juice, spring water, lots of different milkshake flavours and soft drinks like Coca-Cola or Sprite.

I went for a cheeseburger (without cheese), skinny fries and a chocolate milkshake. It was really delicious but I was so full after my milkshake. It is so filling! Next time I won't drink so much before my burger arrives. 

The staff at the Metro Centre GBK were very friendly and super fast! Our whole meal was awesome so GBK gets a big thumbs up from me :)

Kids Eat Out: Thaikhun Nottingham

A few weeks ago we went to a new restaurant in Nottingham called Thaikhun. It is a Thai restaurant. I had never had Thai food before so it was a new experience for me :)

The kids menu was also a colouring sheet which I enjoyed colouring in. The menu had just 4 items on it and we ordered 3 of them for me and my little brother to share. 

We also had some Thai prawn crackers with sweet chilli sauce while we waited for our meals to come.

Our meals were served on plastic piggy plates which were cute. The meals we had were Phad Thai Dek, Khao Moo Deng and Bangkok Pop Corn Chicken. 

We loved all 3 of the meals we ordered but our favourite was Khao Moo Deng which is is BBQ pork slices served on a bed of steamed rice, with sweet BBQ sauce. It was so yummy!!

We didn't manage to eat everything as we had 3 meals but we gave it a good go and we would love to go back one day. Our favourite part of the meal was the puddings  :)

We ordered 3 puddings to share between all 4 of us so we could all have a taste of them. My favourite was the chocolate fudge cake, it was so gooey and delicious!

I didn't really like the Pancake Sankaya very much, they aren't like the pancakes we have at home, Mum really enjoyed this though.

We all loved the ice cream. we chose chocolate and coconut, none of us had coconut ice cream before and it was really good.

We had a really great time at Thaikhun and the food was yummy. I can't wait to go back there one day. :)

Kids Eat Out: Byron Hamburger

Last week I had an inset day but my little brother didn't, so Mum and me went to town on the bus for a girlie day. There was a new Byron Hamburgers restaurant in the shopping centre and I love burgers so we thought we would try it out for lunch. 

The kids menu (Mini Byron) comes as an activity sheet that you can turn into an Origami Fortune Teller which is really cool! I've never seen something like that at a restaurant before and it was really good because it had the instructions how to make it on so now I have been making them all the time ever since. 

From the menu you can choose a main, side and a drink for 6.50, I went for a Mini Classic burger and fries which comes with carrot and cucumber sticks. I chose to have a chocolate milkshake which was £2.25 extra so my meal in total came to £8.75. I was so full I didn't have a dessert but could have chosen from chocolate brownie or ice cream for an extra £2.00. 

My meal was so delicious and the burger bun was so squishy and nice. The burger had lettuce and tomato in it, I had to take the tomato out because I don't like it. The carrot had started to go a little bit dry but not as bad as some places we have been to. The fries were yummy!

Here I am just about to tuck into my meal, the milkshake was thick and had chocolate bits in it and I loved it! Byron gets a really big thumbs up from me and Mum said her burger and fries was gorgeous too!

Have you ever visited Byron? We will definitely be going back.

Kids Eat Out: Le Bistrot Pierre

This post is the first in my Kids Eat Out series. I will be featuring the kids menu at restaurants when we eat out. We love to go out for dinner and I like it when restaurants make it fun for kids. If you would like to be featured here then get in touch with us at bloggingboo@gmail.com :)

A few weeks ago we were invited to try Le Bistrot Pierre as they had just launched a new activity pack for kids.

The children's menu is £6.50. You get a main course, dessert and a drink for that. I love how the menu looks like a chalkboard :)

I thought the selection of mains and desserts were good. When I opened my activity pack I found a picture of Pierre which meant I had won a prize as only a few of the packs had him in. I was very happy with the bag of jelly beans that I won :)

I really like the activity book we were given with our meal, they had lots to do and kept us busy while we were waiting for our food. 

It was nice to be able to take the book home so I could finish it there as there was so much to do I couldn't finish while we were there. 

For lunch I chose burger & fries which came with carrot sticks, cucumber and cherry tomatoes, and for dessert I had the Chocolate Torte. It was all yummy!!! I really liked the fresh bread which was on the table too.

My little brother had burger and fries too but he had chocolate and vanilla ice cream for dessert. He  liked the ice cream the most :)

Le Bistrot Pierre gets a big thumbs up from me and my little brother, the food was yummy and we loved their new activity books.
