Restaurant · Ashford
Handy for a weekday lunch when you want somewhere calm rather than chaotic — the noise level here tends towards quiet, which suits a baby napping in the buggy or an older child who finds busy rooms hard. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is properly catered for, and gluten-free options mean one fussy or coeliac eater doesn't derail the meal. Step-free access and free parking take the faff out of arriving with a buggy, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go if a little one needs a wriggle. Worth booking ahead.
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.
A deceptively roomy Tenterden café with a lovely garden, patient staff, toddler-approved pancakes and free parking.
Warm, authentic Italian on Tenterden high street with a kids' menu, high chairs, quick service and free evening parking behind.
Cosy Italian café behind the restaurant, with proper Vergnano coffee, homemade cakes and gelato children adore — outdoor tables are the roomier option.
