Italian · Bedford
Bedford has plenty of places to eat, but if you're after Italian food with children in tow, this one has thought about it. There's a proper kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a struggle. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the trickier eaters, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when little ones need air. It's a lively room, so nobody will notice a noisy table — do book ahead.

A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
