REVIEW 9 - The Muse Restaurant, Arundel

The Muse Restaurant
8 Tarrant Street, Arundel, West Sussex BN18 9DG
Tel: 01903 883477
www.themuseonline.co.uk

Overall rating for baby friendly dining - 4/5

Neatly tucked away in Tarrant Street, just off the main high street in Arundel The Muse is a family friendly and independently owned restaurant. They serve freshly cooked traditional and Mediterranean style cuisine. There is a very varied menu, as a sample, you can choose from tapas, lamb shanks, vodka marinated salmon and there are plenty of delicious vegetarian options too. The great thing about The Muse which genuinely is a family friendly place is on a Sunday the roast dinners for kids (under 10) eat FREE!. Also, toddlers and babies eat free at any time when an adult meal is purchased - if only more restaurants adopted this idea. Although there isn't a kids menu, you can choose exactly what you want your little one to have - which is great! For babies, you can get a jug of hot water to heat up their food. There is plenty of room for your pushchair and high chairs are offered too. 

The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a really nice atmosphere. They are also open for breakfast and you can also hire the restaurant for parties or and will cater for large parties if you wanted to celebrate a special occasion. 

Yummy Mummy Top Tip - I would pre-book and let them know you want to reserve a high chair so it will be all ready for when you arrive. Oh, and try the humus - it's really good!

Baby friendly - Yes
High chairs - Yes
Baby Changing - No
Quality of food - Very Good
Value for money - Good

REVIEW 8 - The West Cornwall Pasty Company, Worthing

The West Cornwall Pasty Company
South Street, Worthing, West Sussex

Overall rating for baby friendly dining - 3.5/5

The is a really handy place to pop into when you are out and about in Worthing Town. Ideally located at the site of the Old Ship Pub in South Street, where the front looks like an old ship. Inside you'll find seaside and pirate memorabilia, which looks great and there is plenty of room for your pushchair too. There are wooden highchairs for your little ones, but no baby changing which I was quite surprised about, especially being a chain and the fact there is a disabled toilet with plenty of room to fit one!

I'm not an expert in pasty tasting, but would say that The West Cornwall Pasty Company is up there with the best of them. They also offer wedges, sausage rolls, cakes and crisps - probably not the best place to kick start my January diet. But they also do a good cuppa and all types of coffee. 

Yummy Mummy Top Tip - Treat yourself and try a pasty - they are pretty good!!

Baby friendly - Yes
High chairs - Yes
Baby Changing - No
Quality of food - Good
Value for money - Good
