Hickory's Smokehouse Chester
Lively Chester barbecue spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating — worth booking ahead.

Pub · Chester
A quiet pub in Chester where you can sit down with children without the whole table becoming a project. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for from the moment you arrive, and gluten-free options mean one dietary requirement doesn't decide where the family eats. The calm noise level suits a baby who naps in the buggy or an older child who finds busy rooms overwhelming, though it also means you'll notice a loud tantrum. Mid-range prices for a pub meal out.

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.
