Fish & chips · Hertford
Turning up here with a toddler is straightforward — step-free access means you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold, and high chairs are on hand once you're in. There's a kids' menu, so you don't have to negotiate a shared portion, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It's a cheap place to eat, and the noise sits at a moderate level, which is usually enough cover for a child who won't sit quietly. It holds a 4.1 from 265 ratings.
