Restaurant · Cromer
Tucked up a side street, this is a small family-run place where the welcome does a lot of the work — the team are warm with children and unhurried even late in the afternoon. The courtyard garden is the reason to come with little ones: a pond and fountain to watch, flowers everywhere, outdoor tables and room to fidget. Portions are generous ("we have never left there yet hungry"), the produce is local, and the hog roast baguette with chunky chips, the hot goat's cheese salad and the crab salad all get raved about. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, vegan options and free parking. One honest caveat: everything is cooked to order, so expect a wait — worth it, but bring something to keep small hands busy.
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.
