Pizza · Southend-on-Sea
Weekday lunch with a toddler in tow is straightforward here — high chairs are there when you arrive, there's a kids' menu to order from, and you can get a buggy in without lifting it up a step. Prices sit at the cheaper end, which helps when you're feeding a couple of children who may or may not finish what they order. Gluten-free options mean one fussy tummy or an allergy doesn't rule the place out. It's a moderately noisy room, so a bit of toddler chatter won't stand out, though it's 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.
