Indian · Kendal
Kendal has a decent spread of places to eat, and this is a mid-priced Indian restaurant with the practical things sorted for families: high chairs, a kids' menu, and gluten-free options if someone at your table needs them. It tends to be quiet rather than lively, which suits a family who'd rather eat without shouting over the room, though it does mean a loud toddler will be noticed. Booking is recommended, so ring ahead rather than turning up on spec. It holds 3.9 stars from over 300 Google ratings.

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.
