Fish & chips · Kendal
Fish and chips is one of the easier meals to get a small child to eat, and there's a kids' menu here alongside the main fryer offering, so portions are sized for smaller appetites rather than shared off your plate. High chairs are available, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without folding it down at the door. Gluten-free options are on offer too, which is worth knowing if one of your children can't have the standard batter. The noise level sits at moderate, so a chatty toddler won't stand out.

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.
