Premier Inn Braintree (Freeport Village) hotel
Moderate-noise spot with high chairs, a kids' menu, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options — easy with little ones.

Pub · Braintree
A pub in Braintree serving a proper kids' menu, so there's something your child will actually eat rather than a token nugget option — and gluten-free dishes if someone in the family needs them. High chairs mean a baby or toddler is sorted without you having to ask twice, and step-free access makes getting a buggy through the door straightforward. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is a relief when a two-year-old is having opinions, and there's outdoor seating for when they need to be somewhere else. 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.
