Café · Matlock
Turning up here with children shouldn't take much thought — there's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free access all the way in, so a buggy and a toddler are both accounted for. Free parking takes the usual scramble out of the arrival. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your youngest is going through a loud phase, and vegan and gluten-free options mean fussy or restricted eaters are covered too. Outdoor seating is there in decent weather, and it's worth booking ahead.
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.
