Fish & chips · Southend-on-Sea
A cheap fish and chip spot in Southend-on-Sea that's set up for children rather than just tolerating them — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. The whole place is step-free, so you can push a buggy in without hunting for someone to hold a door. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit if the little one needs air, and it tends to be on the quiet side, which helps if loud rooms tip your toddler over the edge. It's worth booking ahead.

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.
