Restaurant · Colchester
A budget-friendly diner where the kids' menu means there's something familiar on the table before you've even sat down — useful when you've got a fussy eater and no energy to negotiate. High chairs are there for the smallest ones, and step-free access means getting a buggy in doesn't turn into a production. There are vegan and gluten-free options too, so a child with a dairy allergy or a coeliac parent isn't stuck picking at chips. It's a moderately noisy room, which is a relief with a chatty toddler, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to escape if things get loud — 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.
