The Loaf
Ashbourne café and bakery with a kids' menu, high chairs, gluten-free options and step-free buggy access.

Restaurant · Ashbourne
A mixed-age group works well here, with a kids' menu and high chairs covering the toddler end and enough on the plate at ££ to keep older children going too. The noise level tends towards quiet, so it suits children who can sit through a meal rather than ones who need to roam — though outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone gets fidgety. Step-free access means you can push a buggy straight in without folding it at the door, and parking is free. Booking ahead is worth doing, and gluten-free options are available if that matters to you.

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.
