Café · Stratford-upon-Avon
A weekend brunch spot that somehow keeps its head when it's packed — one family of seven with two small children got a table during the Christmas rush without much waiting, and the food still arrived quickly. That matters when someone's melting down. It's roomy enough for a buggy, with high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating for warmer days, and there's plenty for vegans on the menu. The staff come in for constant praise: cheerful, patient, nothing too much trouble. Food-wise, the sweetcorn hash and smoked salmon hash get raved about, as do eggs royale and the generous cooked breakfasts. Two honest snags: it does get noisy at busy times, and ordering is via QR code at the table, which not everyone loves. Worth booking ahead or timing it off-peak if you want calm.
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.
