FAMILY dining is big business these days, and as a result diners will be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a venue.
If you enjoy a traditional pub atmosphere and comforting dishes, you’ll love The Crown in Billericay.
Open all day for families with or without children, the restaurant is a popular destination for diners throughout the week and Chef James is particularly keen to ensure children are fed high-quality food at reasonable prices.
He says: “Basically, we can do smaller portions of most normal-sized meals for the kids.” Call 01277 659863 for further details.
If you want to venture a little further a field however, and have a fussy eater in tow, head to Prested Hall in Feering, near Witham. Happy to accommodate their menus, Rachel Bones, the assistant manager at Prested Hall, tells In2: “If the children don’t like anything on the main menu, the chef will come out and ask children what they fancy.”
This flexible restaurant and hotel is obviously great for families, and on special events like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day they organise themed activities. Call 01376 573300 for further details, or to book.
Alternatively, if you like to enjoy a scenic view while you eat out, you must pay a visit to Tarantino Italian Restaurant in Crown Street, Brentwood later this summer.
Staff at the popular eatery have just commissioned a local artist to paint a series of murals taking inspiration from Venetian scenes in the restaurant – perfect for cash strapped diners longing to see the sights of Venice!
