Lively Carlisle spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and outdoor seating — booking recommended.

Restaurant · Carlisle
Handy to know about if you're eating out in Carlisle with the children in tow. Stanleys Bar & Cafe has high chairs and a kids' menu, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and step-free access means you can get a buggy in without asking anyone to lift it. Gluten-free options are on hand too, which helps if one of yours can't eat wheat. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one — good news if your youngest is going through a loud phase — and 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.
