Bakery · Castle Douglas
Good news for anyone juggling different ages: there's a kids' menu alongside the café and bakery counter, so a toddler who wants something plain and an older child eyeing a pastry are both sorted. High chairs are on hand and access is step-free, which means you can push a buggy straight in rather than folding it up at the door. Gluten-free options are available too, useful if one of your children can't eat wheat. The noise level is moderate, so a chatty table won't stand out.

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.
