If
you’re like me and have spawned a couple of the little monsters, you have no
choice but to fake-grin through all the times your children have a great time
in the tiny little space in front of you.
A
great time for them means shrieking, bashing, tomato sauce-wiping,
sugar-throwing, jumping, straw-gurgling and peals of high-pitched giggles.
Not
so fabulous for the fellow diner, especially if they haven’t had the exhausting
amazing experience of having their own little darlings.
The
whole darn reason for this fervent delirium is because our little munchers
are bored. So what’s the answer? It’s simple, they need entertainment and fun
and cool things to do.
And
any parent will agree with me, I worship the ground of any restaurateur who
serves good food in a child-friendly atmosphere. A sandpit, a jungle gym,
hell a box of toys, we just need some extras to help our angels with their
ADD.
So
clever us over here at food24 have started some delicious collections for
you. We’d really like you to get involved and share your special
places to go, too. We’ll give the best one a R250 Kalahari
voucher to buy them something funky.

men whilst you enjoy some yummy food and perhaps some well-earned quiet.
