Saturday mornings here get busy, and the team handles it well — food and drinks landing inside ten minutes even when every table is full. The room is small but works surprisingly hard, with a good mix of tables and comfy seats; one visitor calls it "a bit like the TARDIS in size," which is worth knowing if you're arriving with a pram, though buggy access is fine and there are high chairs. When the weather's decent the outdoor seating is the easier option with children. The full English draws real praise, especially the poached eggs, and portions are generous with local sourcing and fair prices. There's a kids' menu and vegan options, plus a large free car park out front. Food is cooked to order, so it isn't always quick — worth a snack in your bag. Afternoon tea needs pre-booking.

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.
