Fish & chips · Clacton-on-Sea
A cheap and cheerful chippy that works well with a mixed-age group — there's a kids' menu for the fussier ones and plenty for older children who'll happily eat the same as you. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is catered for too, and step-free access saves the buggy shuffle at the door. Gluten-free options are worth knowing about if one of your children can't eat wheat, which isn't a given at a fish and chip shop. Noise sits at a moderate level, so nobody will mind a bit of chatter at the table.
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.
