Fish & chips · St Albans
A fish and chip shop in St Albans that's set up properly for eating in with children rather than just queuing at the counter. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access, so you can arrive with a toddler and a buggy without working out logistics at the door. Gluten-free options mean a coeliac child isn't stuck watching everyone else eat, which is rarer than it should be with battered fish. The noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty five-year-old 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.
