Cafés · Winchester
A proper old-school café tucked opposite a Waitrose in Winchester, with plenty of floor space for big buggies and a clean toilet with baby changing — the sort of practical detail that decides an outing. Breakfasts run all day alongside burgers, pies and chips, portions are generous, and the drinks get the most love: chai lattes, Oreo milkshakes, and mini ice creams with toppings that go down well with small children. Staff are generally warm and accommodating — one parent was brought a bowl of warm water to heat a baby's bottle without asking twice. There's a park next door, which makes an after-school ice cream feel like a plan rather than a stop. Free parking, a kids' menu and high chairs. Service can occasionally go slack when it's busy, and hot chocolates feel dear for what they are.
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.
