Chinese · Colchester
Turning up here with children doesn't require much thought — there's a kids' menu and high chairs ready, so a toddler is catered for from the moment you sit down. Vegan and gluten-free dishes on the menu mean a family with different diets can all eat from the same table, which takes a lot of the negotiating out of choosing where to go. It's a lively room, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out. Worth booking ahead, and prices sit in the middle range.
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.
