Big, handsome rooms with plenty of space between tables mean a pram isn't a problem here, and high chairs and a kids' menu are on hand — though it's a busy city-centre spot, so booking is worth it, especially at weekends when the noise level climbs. The staff are the real strength: warm, quick to find a table for a large group at no notice, and genuinely patient without hovering. Breakfast and brunch are the sweet spot — creamy scrambled eggs, golden halloumi, crisp hash browns, pancakes with maple syrup and properly crispy bacon. The cauliflower wings get raved about, but they're a small plate, so order two. Smash burgers and sharers land well too, and there are vegan options. Honest snag: it's pricier than the food strictly warrants, and one parent notes portions can feel modest for the money.
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.
