A Visit to: Don Paddy's | £5 Kids Menu Offer for Early Evening Dining in Uppingham, Rutland

Looking for a family-friendly spot where everyone can enjoy delicious food without breaking the bank? Look no further than Don Paddy’s in Uppingham. This newly renovated chic brasserie has just launched a brilliant new offer: a £5 kids’ menu available Monday to Friday from 5:30–6:30 pm. It’s perfect for an after-school treat or a surprise Friday night dinner.

Don Paddy’s has mastered the art of balancing sophistication with family comfort. Parents can sip on exquisite wines (like my personal favourite, the English sparkling wine from Chapel Down) while little ones dig into their £5 meals.

The menu is designed with everyone in mind. Small plates like flatbreads and Spanish meatballs, hearty starters like baked Camembert and large plates such as steak frites and crab linguine make sure there’s something for every palate and budget. With sides at £5 and kids’ meals for just £5 during the offer hour, it’s a win-win for families.

Last week, we popped in for an early dinner and had a wonderful time. Stanley ordered the £5 burger, complete with fries and salad, which he devoured happily. Tom opted for the Chicken Milanese and a small plate of Ndjua arancini, while I went for the Vegan Milanese. I’ll admit, I was hesitant to try it, but I’m so glad I did—it was the perfect winter dish with capers, rocket and green beans adding a zesty touch.

The atmosphere upstairs in the booths was ideal for families with wriggly toddlers. Don Paddy’s goes the extra mile by providing colouring pencils and children’s cutlery, making dining with kids stress-free.

This £5 offer is an amazing offer for young families. Not only can you treat your kids to a wholesome meal, but there’s also no obligation for parents to order a full meal themselves—though with such tempting options, it’s hard to resist! And the best part? We were home and Stanley was tucked into bed by 6:45 pm.

If you’re looking for other great deals, here’s what Don Paddy’s has on offer:

• Set Lunch Menu: Two courses for £22 or three courses for £27, Monday to Saturday.

• Happy Hour Treat: Order two cocktails or G&Ts and receive a free small plate (Monday to Friday, 5:30–6:30 pm).

Don Paddy’s isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a place where families can make memories, enjoy delicious food and unwind in a stylish yet welcoming space. Whether it’s a casual midweek treat or an early evening outing, this £5 kids’ menu is a game-changer.

So, what are you waiting for? Gather the family and head to Don Paddy’s, you’ll be glad you did.
