Mediterranean · Chelmsford
Expect a bit of a buzz here — the noise level tends towards lively, which is good news if your toddler is going through a loud phase, because nobody will be craning their neck at you. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can walk in with a small child and know they'll be fed and seated properly. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than getting folded up at the door, and gluten-free options are available if that's something you're working around. It's mid-range on price and booking ahead is recommended, so a quick call before you set off is worth it.

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.
