Chinese · Braintree
A mixed-age group works well here, since a kids' menu and high chairs cover the youngest while everyone else orders from the main list at mid-range prices. The moderate noise level means a chatty toddler won't stand out, and step-free access makes getting a buggy through the door straightforward rather than a two-person job. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go if someone needs a wriggle break, and gluten-free options are there if one of your children eats differently. 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.
