Cafés · Marlborough
A biker stop as much as a family one, this Marlborough café rewards anyone who bothers to look past the plain frontage — there's a proper little garden round the back, plus plenty of tables inside and out, so a pram doesn't have to be a problem. Free parking sits well off the road, which takes the stress out of unloading everyone. The bacon rolls have something of a reputation, and the full English and burgers come in big, well-presented portions at prices that won't sting for a family of four. Staff are easy-going and unhurried — one visitor noted nothing was too much trouble, "from a glass of water to a full English". Two honest notes: the inside can feel chilly on cold days, and service is relaxed rather than quick, so 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.
