Applaud Coffee
A hidden courtyard garden off St Peter's Street, warm staff, great coffee and cinnamon rolls, with a kids' menu and high chairs.
Turkish · Ipswich
A weekday lunch with a toddler in tow is straightforward here — high chairs are ready and there's a kids' menu, so you're not improvising off the main list. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. Gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them, and the mid-range prices keep a family meal reasonable. It's a lively room, which suits children who won't sit silently, though it's 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.
