Ruay Rôt Thai
Hertford Thai restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options; booking recommended.
Vegan · Hertford
Getting through the door is straightforward here — step-free access means you can push the buggy straight in rather than folding it on the doorstep, and high chairs are ready when you need one. There's a kids' menu, so no negotiating over side dishes for a small person, and everything is vegan with gluten-free options if that's what your family needs. Noise sits at a comfortable middle — chatty enough that a noisy toddler won't stand out, calm enough to hear each other. It's worth booking ahead, and mid-range prices mean lunch out won't feel like an occasion you have to justify.

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.
