Pub · Ashbourne
Turning up with a toddler here takes no real planning — there's a kids' menu, high chairs waiting, and step-free access so you can wheel a buggy straight in rather than folding it at the door. It's a quiet pub rather than a boisterous one, which suits a meal where you'd like to hear each other, though it does mean a loud phase is more noticeable. Gluten-free options are on offer if someone in the family needs them, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a child needs to wriggle. Booking ahead is recommended, so ring before you set off.
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.
