Donkey & Buskins
A quiet, buggy-friendly Colchester spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating and gluten-free choices — worth booking.

Restaurant · Colchester
Quiet is the word here, which cuts both ways with children — calm enough for a proper meal, but you'll notice a toddler's meltdown more than you would somewhere busy. High chairs and a kids' menu mean the practical side is sorted, and step-free access means the buggy comes in without a fuss. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to take a restless little one, and there are vegan and gluten-free choices if anyone in the family needs them. 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.
