American · Southend-on-Sea
A diner-style spot in Southend-on-Sea doing American food at mid-range prices, and one that's set up properly for children: a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access for buggies mean you can arrive with a toddler in tow and not have to think it through first. It's a lively room, so a grizzly baby or a loud four-year-old won't be the thing anyone notices. There's outdoor seating if you'd rather be outside, and vegan and gluten-free options if someone in the family eats differently. 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.
