Ice cream shop · Southend-on-Sea
An ice cream parlour in Southend-on-Sea where the main event is exactly what children want, so there's no negotiating over a main course before the good bit. There's a kids' menu alongside the ice cream, plus high chairs, which makes it workable with a toddler rather than just older children. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without lifting it, and gluten-free options are there if one of yours needs them. It's a moderately noisy place, so a chatty child or a bit of spilled cone won't stand out.
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.
