Lively Kendal spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, outdoor seating, gluten-free options and step-free buggy access.

Restaurant · Kendal
Kendal parents with a mixed-age crowd have a workable option here — high chairs for the baby, a kids' menu for whoever's fussy, and vegan and gluten-free choices so nobody's left picking at a side. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door, and the outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when a toddler needs to wriggle. It's a lively room, which is good news if your two are loud and less so if you were hoping for a quiet lunch. Worth booking ahead, and mid-range prices keep it reasonable for four.

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.
