Mediterranean · Chelmsford
A Turkish and Middle Eastern spot in Chelmsford that's set up for families rather than just tolerating them — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access if you're pushing a buggy in. The mezze style of food works well when children want to pick at a few things rather than commit to one plate, and there are vegan and gluten-free options if anyone in the group needs them. It gets lively, which is handy cover for a noisy toddler, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows. 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.
