Korean Barbecue · Maidstone
Maidstone has plenty of options for an evening out, but finding one that welcomes small children as a matter of course is harder. This Korean and Chinese spot in the town keeps high chairs on hand and has a proper kids' menu, so you can bring a toddler along without a fallback plan for what they'll eat. Step-free access means a buggy comes in the door rather than being folded up on the doorstep, and gluten-free dishes are available if someone at the table needs them. It's a moderately noisy room in the ordinary way, mid-range on price, and worth ringing ahead to book.
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.
