Fish & chips · Braintree
A small, low-cost chippy in Braintree with a proper sit-down side to it, so you're not eating out of paper in the car. High chairs and a children's menu mean a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and there are gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. The noise sits at a comfortable middle — enough chatter that a chatty three-year-old won't stand out, not so loud you can't hear each other. Worth ringing ahead to book, since tables are limited.
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.
