The New London
Lively Chelmsford restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options; booking recommended.

Café · Chelmsford
Expect a bit of buzz here — it's a lively spot, which is often easier with children than a hushed room where every squeak carries. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is straightforwardly catered for, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go if someone needs air or a wriggle. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a struggle, and vegan and gluten-free options cover the fussier or more restricted eaters. Worth booking ahead rather than chancing it.

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.
