Pub · Dartford
You can get in the door with the buggy without lifting it, thanks to step-free access, and there are high chairs waiting once you're inside. A kids' menu means no negotiating over what a four-year-old will actually eat, and gluten-free options are there if someone in the family needs them. Free parking takes the stress out of arriving with a toddler and all the gear, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days or when a small person needs a wriggle. It's a lively spot rather than a hushed one — good if your children are noisy — and 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.
