Restaurant · Morpeth
A country inn menu with gluten-free options and a proper kids' menu means most children will find something they'll actually eat, and coeliac families aren't stuck with chips. High chairs are on hand for the under-twos, and step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. Free parking helps when you're unloading small people and all their kit. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, so a chatty toddler won't stand out — worth booking a table 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.
A park-side café with a playground on the doorstep, huge portions, glorious cakes and free parking — book ahead at weekends.
A well-rated Indian takeaway in Alnwick with high chairs and vegan options — an easy, affordable family treat.
A friendly Shilbottle pub near Alnwick with outdoor seating and a lovely 4.6 rating, easygoing for a family bite.
