The Marquis
Quiet Colchester gastropub with step-free buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating — booking recommended.

Turkish · Colchester
Handy for a weekday lunch when you want something a bit different but still easy with children. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you working around the adult menu, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier or trickier eaters at the table. It gets lively, which is forgiving of a noisy three-year-old, 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.
