Café · Ashbourne
A mixed-age group works well here — there's a kids' menu and high chairs for the little ones, and older children can pick from the counter alongside you. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without hunting for someone to hold a door. Gluten-free options are there if one of your children needs them, which takes the guesswork out of ordering. It tends to be lively, so a noisy toddler won't be the loudest thing in the room.
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.
