TGI Fridays - Lakeside Retail Park
Lively American diner in Thurrock with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and vegan and gluten-free choices.
Family · South Ockendon
Handy for a weekday lunch when you want somewhere the children can order from their own menu and you're not stuck balancing a toddler on your knee — high chairs are on hand, and the step-free entrance means you can push a buggy straight in. There's outdoor seating for warmer days, plus vegan and gluten-free choices if someone in the group eats differently. It's a lively sort of room, so a bit of noise from your table won't stand out, though it's worth booking ahead rather than chancing it.

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.
