Howdens Garden Centre
A relaxed Inverness-shire garden centre with a coffee shop serving housemade food and outdoor tables, easygoing for a family stop.

Pub · Inverness
Getting in is straightforward — step-free access means you can push the buggy through the door rather than folding it up on the doorstep, and there are high chairs waiting once you're seated. There's a kids' menu, plus gluten-free options if someone in your group needs them, so nobody's stuck picking round a plate. It tends to be on the quiet side, which suits a baby who naps in the pram but also means a loud toddler will be heard. Worth booking ahead, and expect mid-range pub prices.

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.
