Thai · Ashbourne
A quiet weekday lunch out with children usually means keeping expectations low, but this Ashbourne spot has the practical things sorted — high chairs for the youngest, a kids' menu so there's no negotiating over sharing plates, and vegan and gluten-free options if someone in the family eats differently. The calm noise level suits a slower meal, though it also means a loud toddler will be noticed. Booking ahead is worth doing rather than turning up and hoping.
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.
