The Red Lion
Faversham spot with kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating — lively, and worth booking ahead.
Restaurant · Canterbury
Canterbury has plenty of family-friendly options, and this one earns its place if you want a calmer meal than the usual chain. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without hunting for someone to hold a door. The noise level tends toward quiet, which suits a child who finds a loud room overwhelming — though it also means you'll want to keep an eye on your own table's volume. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs air, gluten-free options are available, 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.
