Coffee Hog
Café and bakery with a kids' menu, high chairs, gluten-free choices and step-free buggy access; lively, and booking is recommended.

Restaurant · Colchester
Pub food at midweek prices, with a separate children's menu so there's no negotiating over a smaller portion of something grown-up — and gluten-free options if one of yours needs them. High chairs are on hand, and step-free access means you can push a buggy in rather than folding it at the door. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, which suits a baby napping in the pram more than a toddler mid-tantrum. There's outdoor seating for warmer days, and it's worth booking 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.
