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

Restaurant · Colchester
A quiet spot in Colchester where you can bring the children without steeling yourself for it. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and if anyone in the family avoids gluten there are options for them too. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a small person needs air or a wander. It's worth booking ahead, and given the calm atmosphere, this suits a family meal more than a boisterous one.

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.
