Café · Colchester
Chaiiwala in Colchester does karak chai and café-style food at mid-range prices, with a kids' menu so you're not carving up an adult portion for a four-year-old. High chairs are on hand, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without hauling it up steps or leaving it outside. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier or more restricted eaters in the group. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your toddler has volume settings.
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.
