Restaurants · Lairg
Sitting on the harbour front at Lochinver, this is a proper sit-down dinner that somehow works with children in tow — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking on the street outside, so you're not circling with a tired toddler. The staff are the reason families come back: even with a full room and only a few of them on, service is quick and friendly, and nobody's left waiting. Scallops with bacon and leek come up again and again, as do the mussels, sea bass and the sticky toffee pudding; there's plenty of gluten-free and vegan choice, and a few outdoor tables for warmer days. Worth knowing: the regular fish and chips is enormous — order the small one for a child — and it fills up even on a random Thursday, so book ahead.
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.
