Italian · Carlisle
A pizzeria in Carlisle where the practicalities are already sorted: there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and gluten-free options, so a coeliac child or a fussy toddler both have something to eat without a negotiation at the table. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which usually means a bit of noise from your own table won't stand out. Mid-range prices for Italian food, and it's worth booking ahead rather than turning up and hoping.
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.
