Rubino Kitchen
Lively Colchester spot with kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and free parking — booking recommended.

Restaurant · Colchester
You can get in with a buggy here without a fight — step-free access means no lifting at the door, and there are high chairs waiting once you're settled. A kids' menu takes the guesswork out of ordering, and gluten-free options are there if someone in your group needs them. It's a quiet spot rather than a boisterous one, so it suits children who'll sit for a bit more than those at the end of their tether. Booking ahead is worth doing, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather be outside.

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.
