Quiet Bedford restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, gluten-free options, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating.

Italian · Bedford
A weekday lunch with a toddler is straightforward here — high chairs are ready, there's a kids' menu, and you can get a buggy in without lifting it over a step. It's a lively room, which is good news if your youngest is going through a loud phase, though worth booking a table rather than chancing it. Gluten-free options are available too, so a child with an intolerance isn't stuck with chips. Prices sit at the gentle end, which helps when everyone orders something different.

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.
