Pizza · Colchester
A big-name pizza chain is often the easiest call with children in tow, and this Colchester branch backs that up with high chairs, a kids' menu and step-free access, so you can arrive with a toddler and a buggy and not think too hard about it. Vegan and gluten-free options mean a child with allergies or a fussy eater has something to order without a negotiation at the table. There's outdoor seating if you'd rather be outside, and the moderate noise level means a chatty three-year-old won't stand out. 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.
