Café · Colchester
Indian street food with a kids' menu means you're not negotiating over a grown-up menu with a hungry child — there's something they'll actually eat. High chairs are on hand, and step-free access in means you can push a buggy through the door rather than folding it down on the doorstep. Gluten-free options are available if that's something you have to think about. It gets lively, so a bit of toddler noise won't stand out, and it's worth booking ahead rather than turning up and hoping.
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.
