Paperino’s West End shortlisted for family outlet of the year award

6th August 2010, 12:08pm

Fresh from celebrating its fifth birthday, Paperino’s West End on Byres Road in Glasgow has another cause for celebration – it has just been short-listed for a prestigious Family Outlet of the Year Award.

Open to all on-trade outlets catering for the family market, the SLTN Family Outlet of the Year Award is presented to a venue that can demonstrate a clear commitment to catering for all the family.

Mark Billington, managing director of Paperino's, said: "We're delighted to be shortlisted in this category. Our West End restaurant has always displayed a warm, welcoming Italian approach to children. With custom-built baby-changing facilities and a fresh, enticing and tasty children's menu, it's a venue for the whole family – even late into the evening.

"Italians love their food and their children. Too often dining out in the UK can be a nightmare for parents. At Paperino's West End, you'll feel part of the family. We take a very Italian approach to children – we believe they should eat at least as well if not better than the adults!"

Paperino's West End was designed from the outset with the needs of parents in mind. A baby-changing suite is included, situated entirely separately from the main toilets, and including custom-built benches, a wash-basin and a comfortable chair. 

Bottle warming equipment and a nappy storage cupboard are also included. The room opens on to a large, lockable vestibule, meaning a parent with more than one child will be able to secure the entire area, leaving them free to attend to the baby without worrying about the other child.

The SLTN award winners will be announced at a gala dinner at Glasgow's Hilton Hotel on Thursday, October 21.
