Italian · Saffron Walden
This one sits in Saffron Walden, Essex, and serves Italian food at prices that won't sting on a family Sunday. Practical bits are all in place: a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free access if you're pushing a buggy, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. There's outdoor seating too, useful when the little ones need to be somewhere they can wriggle. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, so it suits children who are past the shrieking stage — 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.
