Restaurant · Colchester
Colchester's edges spill into Suffolk, and this is the kind of restaurant you can land at with small children without a plan. There's a kids' menu and high chairs waiting, so you don't have to negotiate a shared adult plate or hold a wriggling toddler on your lap. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded and abandoned, and free parking takes the stress out of unloading. Gluten-free options are on hand, and the noise sits at a comfortable middle — a dropped fork won't turn heads.
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.
