Penny Farthing Coffee House
Budget-friendly Carlisle café with a kids' menu, high chairs, gluten-free options and step-free buggy access, in a quiet setting.

Restaurant · Carlisle
Carlisle families get an easy run here — high chairs and a kids' menu mean a toddler is catered for from the moment you sit down, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you rather than being folded on the doorstep. Vegan and gluten-free options are on hand too, so a child with a dietary need isn't stuck picking at sides. It's a quiet room rather than a boisterous one, which suits a calmer meal but may make a noisy phase feel conspicuous. Booking ahead is recommended, and worth doing at ££ 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.
