Restaurant · Ely
Ely is one of those Cambridgeshire spots where you end up needing lunch mid-afternoon, and this is a solid mid-priced choice for it. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward. It tends towards the quiet end, so it suits families whose children will sit and eat rather than tear about — and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather they had a bit more room. Gluten-free options are available, and it's 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.
