The St Mildred's Bay
Relaxed seafront restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating, free parking, patient staff and superb seafood — but ring ahead about Sunday roasts.
Bar & grill · Westgate-on-Sea
A steak and grill spot in Westgate-on-Sea with a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler and an older child can both be fed without you doing much thinking beforehand. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded at the door, and there's outdoor seating if your two do better with a bit of air and room to fidget. The room runs lively, which is good news when someone's loud — you won't be the table everyone turns to look at. Gluten-free options are available, and 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.
