Pub · Castle Douglas
A pub in Castle Douglas that's set up for children rather than merely tolerating them — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and step-free access, so getting in with a buggy and settling a toddler shouldn't be a production. Vegan and gluten-free choices mean nobody in the family has to make do with a side order. It runs lively, which is handy cover if your youngest is having a loud day, and there's outdoor seating when everyone needs more room. Worth booking ahead, and around ££ for mains.

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.
