Thai · Maidstone
Expect a bit of a buzz here rather than a hushed dining room, which is good news if your toddler is at the shouting-about-noodles stage — nobody will be turning round. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so you can arrive without any negotiating about what the children will actually eat, and the step-free entrance means the buggy comes in with you instead of being folded on the doorstep. Vegan and gluten-free dishes are on offer too, handy if one of you eats differently. Worth booking ahead, and there's outdoor seating if anyone needs a change of scene mid-meal.
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.
