Correction (10 October 2026): an earlier version of this page listed places and details we could not stand behind. It has been rewritten from scratch: every place below was confirmed at two independent sources on 9 October 2026.
Planning a family meal means checking a few things before you leave the house. This page covers what we could source: three places in Chelsea, next to Bonbeach, each carrying a Child Friendly listing on AGFG.
We have not copied details on prams, high chairs, parking or play space, so ring ahead for those. Hours appear only where the venue’s own site printed them.
