Restaurant · Castle Douglas
Getting through the door is straightforward here, with step-free access so you're not lifting a buggy over a threshold before you've even sat down. High chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is properly catered for rather than picking at your plate, and there are gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them. It tends to be on the quiet side, which suits a calm lunch but is worth knowing if your little one is going through a loud phase. Booking ahead is recommended, so ring before you set off.
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.
