Breakfast is the reason to plan your morning around this place. The homemade rosti — a good two inches thick, crisp outside and soft in the middle, stacked with egg, bacon jam and black pudding if you fancy it — gets made fresh to order, so expect a 15–20 minute wait, which is worth knowing if you've got a hungry toddler in tow. Portions are huge, the bread is homemade and soft, and there's proper range: falafel burgers and vegan options alongside fish finger butties that children take to easily. It's cosy inside and sits right by the market, with outdoor tables that come into their own on a fine day. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, the staff smile a lot, and dogs are made a fuss of. The odd dish underwhelms, but breakfast rarely does.
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.
