Indian · Braintree
Getting through the door is straightforward here, with step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold before you've even sat down. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is properly catered for rather than sharing off your plate, and there are gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It's a lively room, which is good news if your little one has a lot to say — nobody will notice. Worth booking a table ahead, and at ££ it's a manageable family meal out in Braintree.

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.
