Step-free burger spot in Rochester with high chairs, a kids' menu, gluten-free choices and outdoor tables — booking advised.
Café · Rochester
A quiet café and bakery in Rochester that suits a mixed-age group well — high chairs for the little one, a kids' menu so you're not splitting an adult plate, and vegan and gluten-free options if anyone in the family eats differently. The calm noise level makes it easier going with a baby who naps in the buggy, though it also means a loud toddler moment will carry. Booking is recommended, so it's worth a quick call ahead rather than turning up and hoping. At ££, it's a sit-down treat rather than an everyday stop.

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.
