Fish & chips · Harlow
Fried fish, chips and the usual chicken-shop favourites make this an easy call with children who'd rather have something familiar than adventurous — most kids will find something they'll actually finish, and there's a proper kids' menu rather than a shrunken adult one. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is catered for, and step-free access means you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold with one hand. Gluten-free options are available too, which is worth knowing if one of your children needs them. It's moderately noisy, so a bit of squabbling won't stand out.
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.
