Indian · Southend-on-Sea
Handy for an early-evening curry when you don't fancy cooking and the children are in tow. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for as much as everyone else, and vegan and gluten-free dishes mean a fussy or allergy-aware eater isn't left with plain rice. Step-free access makes getting a buggy through the door straightforward. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, and booking ahead is a good idea.

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.
