The Railway Hotel
Budget-friendly Southend pub with a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating — and a lively room that absorbs noise.
Restaurant · Southend-on-Sea
Getting in is straightforward — step-free access means you can push the buggy through the door rather than folding it on the doorstep, and high chairs are there when you need one. There's a kids' menu, so nobody's negotiating over a side of chips, and vegan and gluten-free options mean a mixed family can all order properly. It's a lively room in Southend-on-Sea, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day, and there's outdoor seating for when you need the fresh air. Worth booking ahead.

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.
