Italian · Chelmsford
Chelmsford has plenty of spots for a family dinner, and this one comes set up for children rather than merely tolerating them. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you packing snacks as backup, and vegan and gluten-free options mean a child with restrictions isn't stuck with plain pasta. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a little one needs air. It's lively rather than hushed, which is good news if your children aren't the quiet sort — worth booking ahead.
