Restaurant · Braintree
Getting in with a buggy is straightforward here — there's outdoor seating for parking one alongside you, plus high chairs indoors, so you're not juggling a sleeping baby through the meal. A kids' menu means the children are sorted without splitting an adult plate, and there are vegan and gluten-free options if anyone in the family eats around something. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your toddler has opinions. Worth booking ahead, and prices sit in the middle range for Braintree.
