Restaurant · Ashbourne
A village pub kitchen with a proper kids' menu, so children get their own plate rather than a picked-at half of yours, and gluten-free options are on hand if someone in your group needs them. High chairs mean a baby is catered for without you asking twice, and step-free access means the buggy comes in rather than being folded and left outside. Noise levels tend to be on the quiet side, so it suits a calm lunch more than a boisterous one — worth booking ahead. Free parking is a real relief when you're unloading small people and all their gear.
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.
