Country Food · Canterbury
Turning up here with children doesn't take much organising — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access for a buggy, so you can get in and settled without a fuss. Vegan and gluten-free options mean you're covered if someone in the family eats differently, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go if a toddler needs a wriggle. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your two are chatty. Worth booking ahead, and prices sit in the middle range.
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.
