Quiet Southwold restaurant with high chairs, a kids' menu, step-free access, outdoor seating and gluten-free options; booking advised.

English · Southwold
A weekday lunch here is an easy one with small children: there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access, so you can arrive with a buggy and a hungry toddler and not have to think it through beforehand. It tends to stay quiet, which suits a baby who naps in the pram or an older child who finds busy rooms overwhelming — though it does mean booking ahead is a good idea. Free parking takes the stress out of the arrival, and gluten-free options are there if someone in your group needs them. There's outdoor seating too, for the days when everyone would rather be outside.

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.
