Restaurant · Bushel
A weekday lunch here is easy enough with small children: there's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you having to think ahead. Step-free access means a buggy can come straight in rather than being folded at the door, and gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. It's a lively room, which suits a chatty three-year-old better than a hushed dining room does, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days. Worth booking, as it's recommended here.
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.
Big, bright all-day-breakfast spot off the A1 with huge portions, fair prices, free parking and a summer garden.
Step-free access, high chairs and a kids' menu in a lively Hitchin room, with outdoor seating for restless moments.
A warm little play café with crafts, roleplay and outdoor ride-ons — you can genuinely sit down while your toddler plays.
