Border Gate Beefeater
Family-friendly Carlisle Beefeater with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access, outdoor seating and free parking.

Restaurant · Carlisle
Sunday lunch with a toddler in tow is an easier prospect when the high chairs and kids' menu are already sorted, and this Carlisle spot has both. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, which suits a slower meal or an older child who'd rather not shout to be heard — and there's outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Step-free access means the buggy comes in with you instead of being folded on the doorstep, and gluten-free options are available if someone in the family needs them. Worth booking 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.
