Restaurants · Donaghadee
There's a proper old bar at the front, then it opens out into a bigger, more modern dining room at the back — so there's room to park a pram without wedging yourself between stools. The beer garden is the real find with children: an awning over it for when the weather turns, sometimes a singer on, and space for them to be a bit loud. Staff are unusually good with kids, chatty without hovering, and families regularly leave saying they were well looked after. The Sunday roast comes in a generous portion, the seafood chowder is worth ordering, and the Malaysian curry gets named again and again. Vegan diners should know the options thin out badly at starters and puddings. Free parking, high chairs, and a kids' menu; weekend evenings can be hit and miss.

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.
