The Italian Kitchen
Quiet, mid-priced Italian in Dover with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options; booking recommended.
Café · Dover
A weekday lunch with a toddler in tow is straightforward here — high chairs are on hand, there's a kids' menu, and step-free access means you can push the buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. It's a lively spot rather than a hushed one, which is a relief when your two-year-old decides to narrate the whole meal. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when everyone needs air, and vegan and gluten-free options mean the fussy eaters and the allergy-managers are both sorted. Reasonably priced for a café and bakery, so it works for a regular stop rather than a treat.

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.
