The Merchant Brentwood
Lively Brentwood pub with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options — booking recommended.

Pub · Brentwood
Expect a lively room here — the sort of pub where children's chatter blends into the general hum rather than turning heads, which takes the pressure off if yours aren't the quiet type. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is straightforwardly catered for, and step-free access saves the buggy-folding scramble at the door. There's outdoor seating for when someone needs to burn off energy, and gluten-free options if that's a consideration at your table. Worth booking ahead, as it's a popular spot to sit down at ££ prices.

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.
