Colchester restaurant with high chairs, a kids' menu, gluten-free choices and step-free buggy access — booking ahead is wise.

Restaurant · Colchester
Expect a bit of buzz here — it's a lively room, which is good news if your two-year-old is having a loud day and less ideal if you were hoping for a quiet catch-up. Kids' menu and high chairs are in place, so no negotiating over what the little one can eat, and there's outdoor seating for when someone needs a change of scene. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded at the door. Gluten-free options are available, and it's 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.
