Scottish · Oban
A good pick for a mixed-age group, since there's a kids' menu alongside high chairs for the youngest at the table. Step-free buggy access means no lifting or awkward doorways on the way in, and vegan and gluten-free options cover the dietary needs that often narrow the choice down to one place. It tends to be on the quiet side, which suits children who find loud rooms overwhelming, though it does mean a shrieking toddler will carry. Booking ahead is recommended, so ring first rather than turning up.
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.
