Pizza · Braintree
Pizza is one of the easier meals to get a child to eat, and here there's a kids' menu alongside it, so you're not splitting an adult portion three ways. High chairs are on hand for the youngest, and gluten-free options mean a coeliac child in the family isn't left picking at chips. Step-free access makes getting in with a buggy straightforward, and the noise sits at a comfortable middle — enough hum that a chatty toddler won't stand out. It's a budget-friendly spot in Braintree, though 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.
