The Rookery
Lively Carnoustie restaurant with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options — worth booking ahead.

Restaurant · Carnoustie
A quiet, mid-priced dining room in Carnoustie makes an easier proposition than most for an early tea with small children — you can hear each other talk, and the kids' menu and high chairs mean the practical side is already sorted before you arrive. Step-free access in means a buggy comes through the door without anyone lifting anything. Vegan and gluten-free choices cover the child who won't eat what everyone else is having, and a parent with their own list of things to avoid. Worth ringing ahead to book, since tables are set aside rather than turned up for.

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.
