Five evenings a week, children are served a nutritious, varied meal at a large communal alfresco table, with drinks for parents included. The relaxed, sociable atmosphere removes the stress often associated with feeding young children on holiday.

Kids’ teatime is a favourite for many families, supporting baby‑led weaning with plenty of healthy options and a judgment‑free space where food ending up on the floor is part of the experience.
