The Bonnie Beastie
Cosy Forres pub with an open fire, roast chicken worth ordering, a kids' menu, high chairs and a welcoming, patient bar staff.

Café · Forres
A café and bakery in Forres with high chairs and a kids' menu, so you can arrive with a toddler and be sorted without a phone call ahead — though it's worth booking, as it's popular enough to recommend it. The noise level runs lively, which is the kind of room where a grizzly baby or a chatty three-year-old blends right in rather than turning heads. Vegan and gluten-free options mean a child with allergies or a fussy eater has something real to choose from, not just a compromise. At ££ it's a reasonable stop for lunch or a mid-morning break, and it holds a 4.7 from 106 ratings.

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.
