Fish & chips · Kendal
A budget-friendly fish and chip spot in Kendal, this one is set up for families rather than just tolerating them. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without a struggle. Gluten-free options are available too, which takes the guesswork out of it if someone in your group needs them. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when the little ones are too restless to stay put, and the noise level sits at a comfortable middle — no need to hush anyone.

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.
