The Black Bull
Quiet Chelmsford pub with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access and outdoor seating — booking ahead is sensible.

Restaurant · Chelmsford
Cheap eats in Chelmsford with a proper kids' menu, so there's something familiar to order rather than negotiating over a side portion of chips. High chairs are there for the little ones, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without a lift-and-shuffle at the door. Gluten-free options are on the menu too, which helps if one of yours can't have wheat. It's moderately noisy — a grizzly toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room — and 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.
