Restaurant · Colchester
Pub-style plates at middling prices, with a proper kids' menu so there's something familiar for a fussy eater rather than a scaled-down adult dish, and gluten-free options if someone in your group needs them. High chairs mean a baby is sorted, and step-free access makes getting in with a buggy straightforward instead of a doorway negotiation. It's on the quiet side, which suits a calm meal but can make a noisy toddler feel very audible — outdoor seating gives you somewhere to decamp. 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.
