The pull here for anyone with small children is the play space — an indoor corner where little ones can sit and play, plus a proper field outside with swings and slides. That buys you a whole coffee, hot. Breakfast is the thing to come for: the full English gets talked about again and again, alongside homemade cakes, fresh scones and sausage rolls, and food tends to arrive quickly and with a smile. Parking is free and roomy, so you can get the pram out unhurried, and there are high chairs, a kids' menu and clean, airy toilets. Outdoor tables look over the playing field, dogs are welcome, and local art and books fill the walls. Prices run a touch above a standard café stop, and bigger groups should book ahead — the team handle parties and large tables easily.

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.
