Fried chicken takeaway · Braintree
Fried chicken and burgers at the ££ end, with a kids' menu that gives smaller appetites something they'll actually finish rather than a scaled-down adult portion. High chairs are on hand, so a baby or toddler has somewhere proper to sit, and step-free access means you're not lifting a buggy over a doorstep to get in. Gluten-free options are available too, which is a relief if one of your children has to avoid wheat. Noise sits at a moderate level, and it's 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.
