Café · Matlock
A mixed-age group works well here, since a kids' menu and high chairs mean the toddler is sorted while older children pick from the main café and bakery side of things. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward rather than a two-person job at the door. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to sit when a child needs to be noisy or wriggly, and gluten-free options are there if someone in the family needs them. The noise level is moderate, so a bit of chatter from your table won't stand out.
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.
