The Ship Inn
Chester pub with high chairs, a kids' menu, step-free buggy access and gluten-free choices — lively enough that noise won't matter.

Restaurant · Chester
A quiet spot in Chester where you can bring a toddler along without a strategy meeting beforehand — there's a kids' menu, high chairs waiting, and gluten-free options if someone in your group needs them. The low noise level cuts both ways: it's calm enough for a baby who naps in the buggy, though a shrieky two-year-old will be heard. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than getting folded at the door. At ££ it's an everyday sort of stop rather than a treat, and it holds a 4.9 across 132 ratings.

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.
