Indian takeaway · Chelmsford
A Bangladeshi and Indian takeaway in Chelmsford that's set up properly for eating in with children — there are high chairs, a kids' menu, and step-free access if you're pushing a buggy through the door. The kitchen covers vegan, gluten-free and halal options, which takes the stress out of a table where nobody eats quite the same thing. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a chatty toddler won't stand out. It's worth booking ahead rather than turning up on spec.

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.
