The Ship
A lively ££ Bedford spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access, outdoor seating and gluten-free choices.

Restaurant · Bedford
A quiet, mid-priced spot in Bedford where the practical bits are already sorted: high chairs, a children's menu and step-free access at the door, so a buggy and a hungry toddler are no trouble. Gluten-free options mean one less negotiation if someone in your group avoids it. The calm noise level suits a slower lunch with children who don't do chaos well, though it does mean a shrieking baby will carry — worth knowing. Booking ahead is recommended, so ring before you set off.

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.
