The traditional soft play café experience often leaves a lot to be desired. For years, parents have come to expect lukewarm instant coffee, uninspiring sandwiches, and a distinct lack of anything worth eating. At Fun Street, we decided it was time to do things differently.
Erina’s Kitchen is our on-site restaurant, and it is a genuine highlight of any visit. While the kids are having the time of their lives in our soft play zones, parents and carers can sit down to food and drink that actually deserves the trip.
It Is a Restaurant, Not Just a Café
The most important thing to understand about Erina’s Kitchen is that it is not a standard soft play café. It is a full-menu, gourmet restaurant that happens to be inside a play centre. The kitchen is run by a dedicated team and serves proper cooked meals for both adults and children, not just snacks and hot drinks.
Whether you are popping in for a quick coffee while the little ones play, sitting down for a full family lunch, or treating yourself to something indulgent while you catch up with another parent, the quality of the food matches the occasion.
If you are still working out what separates a proper play cafe from a soft play with a vending machine, our parent’s guide to play cafes in Glasgow covers what to check before you go, from sightlines to allergen handling.
Food for the Whole Family
The menu at Erina’s Kitchen is designed with everyone in mind. For adults, expect the kind of dishes you would find in a decent restaurant, proper cooked breakfasts, fresh salads, hearty mains, and a selection of sweet treats. For children, the kids’ menu is thoughtfully put together, with real meals rather than the standard beige buffet you might find elsewhere.
All food served at Erina’s Kitchen is Halal certified, which is worth knowing if that matters to your family.
Rather than listing every dish here, we would encourage you to browse the full menu directly on the Erina’s Kitchen page, it is updated regularly and gives you the full picture before you visit.
A Space Designed for Parents
The seating area is positioned so that parents can relax without losing sight of the play zones. It is comfortable, spacious, and a genuine breath of fresh air compared to the cramped, noisy café corners you find in most soft play venues.
It is also a great spot to use when you are hosting a soft play party. Erina’s Kitchen handles all the catering for party packages, so you can focus entirely on enjoying the day rather than worrying about the food.
Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Visit
Arrive early. The kitchen opens with the venue, making it a brilliant spot for a morning visit. Grab a proper coffee and a cooked breakfast while the kids enjoy the toddler area before it gets busy.
Make a day of it. Because Fun Street is located inside Silverburn Shopping Centre, you can combine a play session and a proper sit-down meal with a full shopping trip, all under one roof and all in one visit.
Let the team know about allergies. While the kitchen takes allergens seriously and all food is Halal, it is always worth speaking to a member of staff before ordering if you or your child has a specific dietary requirement.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit Erina’s Kitchen without paying for soft play entry?

Can I bring my own food into Fun Street?
To maintain hygiene standards and support the kitchen, outside food and drink is not permitted on the premises, with the exception of baby food and formula for very young children.
