Restaurant · Carlisle
Good pick for a mixed-age group, since the kids' menu keeps younger ones happy while the lively noise level means nobody's shushing a chatty six-year-old. High chairs are there for toddlers, and the step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. Vegan and gluten-free options make it easier if someone in the family eats differently. It's mid-priced, and worth booking ahead rather than chancing it.
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.
