Restaurant · Dunmow
Bringing a toddler here is straightforward: there's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access, so a buggy isn't a problem at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options mean nobody in the family gets stuck with a plain jacket potato, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go if little ones need to wriggle. It's on the lively side, which is often good news with children — one loud moment won't stand out. Worth booking ahead, and expect mid-range prices.

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.
