The Park Gate Inn
Maidstone spot with kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access, gluten-free options and outdoor seating — quiet, and worth booking.
Restaurant · Maidstone
Tucked in Maidstone, Kent, this is a mid-priced spot that's set up for children without making a fuss about it. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is genuinely catered for, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in and out without a struggle. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, so it suits a calm lunch more than a lively group, and there's outdoor seating when the weather allows. Gluten-free options are available, and booking ahead is worth doing.

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.
