Bistro · Whitstable
Whitstable has plenty of pull for a day out with children, and this small French bistro in the Kent town is set up to handle them properly. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and gluten-free options mean a child with coeliac or an intolerance isn't stuck with chips. Getting in is step-free, which saves the buggy-folding negotiation at the door. It's mid-priced and the noise sits at a moderate level — busy enough that a chatty three-year-old won't be the loudest thing in the room.
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.
