Café · Chelmsford
A mixed-age group works well here, with a kids' menu and high chairs meaning a toddler is catered for while older children can order from the main menu. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without lifting it up steps, and the outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go if a little one needs to stretch their legs. Vegan and gluten-free options are on the menu, which helps if someone in the family eats differently. It's a lively spot, so a noisy toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room.
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.
