Tucked away on a residential stretch, this is a small room — one long shared table and a handful of smaller ones — so it's cosy rather than roomy, though buggy access and high chairs are sorted and there's outdoor seating when the inside fills up. Free parking helps. The toasties are the thing to order: the "samostie", a samosa toastie, gets talked about endlessly, and the garlic mushroom one nearly as much. Coffee comes from a local roaster with proper non-dairy options, and there's a kids' menu plus vegan choices. A mocha and a toastie ran about £7.40. The women running it remember names and are visibly good with babies and frazzled parents — one parent calls it "the heart of the community". Board game evenings and kids' events too.
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.
