Pub · Braintree
A cheap and cheerful pub in Braintree, Essex, this is the kind of place you end up when everyone's hungry and nobody wants a fuss. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and gluten-free options mean one less phone call ahead if someone in the family needs them. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in, and there's outdoor seating when a restless child needs air. It's moderately noisy, which usually means nobody minds a bit of chatter, though it's worth booking.
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.
