Elena's Bistro
Step-free access, high chairs and a kids' menu in a lively Braintree spot — gluten-free options too; booking advised.

Café · Braintree
A small café and bakery in Braintree with prices in the £ bracket, so a family lunch here won't sting. High chairs and a proper kids' menu mean you can walk in with a toddler and not have to improvise, and the step-free access makes getting a buggy through the door straightforward rather than a manoeuvre. There's outdoor seating for when the little ones need air, gluten-free choices if someone in the family needs them, and the room tends to stay quiet — lovely with a baby napping, though 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.
