Food court · Ipswich
A food court in the centre of Ipswich, Suffolk, this is the sort of place families end up when everyone wants something different and nobody wants to argue about it. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive with a toddler and sort things out on the spot rather than ringing ahead. Access is step-free, which means a buggy goes in without anyone lifting anything, and there are gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It's a lively, noisy sort of space — good news if your children aren't the quiet type.
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.
