Cafe Malabar, South Indian Restaurant, Colchester
Mild South Indian food, a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free buggy access — an easy Colchester option with children in tow.

Indian · Colchester
Getting through the door is straightforward here, with step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy up steps before you've even sat down. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is properly catered for rather than picking at whatever you order, and there are vegan and gluten-free dishes if anyone in the group eats differently. It's a quiet room rather than a bustling one, which suits a calm meal but does mean a loud toddler will be heard — worth thinking about with a tired little one. Booking ahead is recommended, so ring first.

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.
