Cafés · Dereham
Breakfast is the reason most people make the trip — full English cooked properly, chicken and bacon melts, well-stacked bacon and egg sandwiches, and portions generous enough that the smaller option is usually plenty for a child to share. The room is clean, light and airy with plenty of space to get a pram through, and there's a patio and garden for warmer days plus free parking right outside, so nobody's wrestling a car seat down the road. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the staff are patient and chatty even when they're clearly stretched at busy times. Coeliac families can eat here with real confidence. Worth booking — tables get reserved quickly, especially at weekends. One parent noted they weren't rushed even close to closing time.
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.
