The respected restaurant guide launched an edition for parents after a survey found almost a third have been turned away from an establishment with youngsters in tow.
The first Harden's Eating Out With Babies And Toddlers follows a survey which revealed that 92 per cent of parents had struggled to find a baby or toddler-friendly restaurant and 31 per cent had been snubbed by a restaurant or cafe while with their young family.
Other problems regularly encountered included a lack of entertainment in restaurants for babies and toddlers (91 per cent), a lack of baby-changing facilities (85 per cent) and no high chairs (76 per cent).
The guide names Giraffe as the UK's most baby-friendly restaurant chain, and, surprisingly, elegant central London celebrity haunt The Wolseley as the most baby-friendly independent restaurant.
It lists more than 1,000 venues and is based on feedback from 8,000 restaurant-going parents.
