Fish & chips · Southend-on-Sea
Southend-on-Sea has plenty of chip shops, but this one has done the practical things that matter with small children in tow. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you having to improvise, and gluten-free options mean a child with coeliac or an intolerance isn't stuck with a bag of crisps. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it on the doorstep, and the outdoor seating is handy when someone's getting restless. Noise sits at a moderate level, so a bit of chatter from your table won't stand 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.
