Manifold Tea-room
A laid-back Ashbourne tea house rated 4.4, easy for a relaxed family pot of tea and a bite to eat.

Restaurant · Ashbourne
Ashbourne sits close enough to the Staffordshire–Derbyshire border that families often pass through, and this is a hotel restaurant set up to feed children properly rather than tolerate them. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is catered for without you packing snacks as insurance, and gluten-free options mean one fussy tummy doesn't derail the whole meal. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward. Noise sits at a moderate level — lively enough that a chatty three-year-old won't be the loudest thing in the room.

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.
