Weavers Bocking
Kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access in a lively Essex spot with outdoor seating and gluten-free choices.

Pub · Braintree
A quiet pub in Braintree, Essex, where the low noise level means you can actually hear each other across the table — good for a child who finds a busy dining room overwhelming, though it also means a loud toddler will be noticed. High chairs and a kids' menu are both there, so you don't need to bring your own solutions, and step-free access means the buggy comes straight in rather than being folded at the door. There's outdoor seating for when someone needs to wriggle, gluten-free options if that matters at your table, and prices sit at the lower end. Booking ahead is worth doing.

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.
