Pub · Rochester
Rochester has plenty to fill a family afternoon, and this Kent pub is set up for children rather than merely tolerating them — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and gluten-free options, so a fussy eater or a coeliac in the family doesn't derail the meal. Step-free access means you can get a buggy through the door without asking anyone to lift it. It's a lively room, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day, and there's outdoor seating when everyone needs air. Worth booking ahead, and at ££ it won't stretch the budget.
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.
