Italian · Stranraer
It's a quiet place to eat, which with children can cut both ways — easier to hear each other and settle a fidgety toddler, though you'll notice if yours gets loud. High chairs and a kids' menu mean you can arrive with a little one and not have to sort anything out in advance, and step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward. There are gluten-free options if someone in the family needs them, and free parking takes one worry off the trip. Worth booking a table, especially at busier times.
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.
