Italian · Southend-on-Sea
You can walk in with a toddler here without much thought — high chairs are on hand, there's a kids' menu, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options mean a child with allergies or a fussy eater at the table isn't a problem. It's a lively room, so a bit of noise from your two won't stand out, and there's outdoor seating when you want more space around you. Worth booking ahead, as tables are held by reservation.

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.
