The Ship
A lively ££ Bedford spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access, outdoor seating and gluten-free choices.

Café · Bedford
Getting through the door is straightforward here — step-free access means you're not folding the buggy on the doorstep or asking someone to help you lift it. High chairs and a kids' menu are both confirmed, so a toddler in tow needs no advance thought, and gluten-free options are worth knowing if one of yours is coeliac or you're feeding a mixed group. Noise sits at a moderate level, which usually means a chatty child won't stand out. It sits at ££ and holds a 4.8 from 150 Google ratings.

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.
