1935 Rooftop Restaurant & Bar
Mid-priced Southend spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options; booking advised.
Chinese · Rochford
Chinese cooking at mid-range prices, with a separate children's menu so there's something familiar for smaller appetites alongside whatever the adults order — and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. High chairs are on hand, and step-free access means you can get a buggy through the door without a struggle. It's a quiet room rather than a bustling one, which suits a calm meal but does mean a loud toddler will be heard. Worth booking ahead so you're not standing about with hungry children.

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.
