Café · Ashford
Don't be put off by the plain frontage or the modest street-facing window — the room runs a long way back and widens out, so there's usually space even when it looks full, and plenty of room to park a pram beside a table. High chairs and a kids' menu are here, plus a few outdoor tables for when the little ones need air. The team work fast and stay unfailingly patient; when it's quiet, food can land in under ten minutes, which matters when someone's melting down. Fried breakfasts are the speciality — proper sausages, nothing swimming in oil — and the omelettes and lasagne get real praise, with a decent machine coffee thrown in free with the big breakfast. Prices are genuinely low. It's a busy, chatty spot with lots of older regulars, so expect noise rather than hush.

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.
