Café · Wallasey
A small seaside spot a few minutes' walk from New Brighton beach, this is the kind of café where a scone comes out warm because it was baked that morning and the coffee arrives with a homemade biscuit alongside. It's genuinely little, so a pram is easier if you're heading for the outdoor tables, and it fills up fast — booking is worth it, and when there's no table the staff take your number and ring round. High chairs, a kids' menu, vegan choices and free parking all help. The chips get singled out again and again — chunky and fluffy — alongside the Welsh rarebit, the fish, and doorstep-thick sandwiches. Local art and mismatched patterned plates make it feel warm rather than fussy. One snag: portions on the cheaper breakfasts have struck some as small for the price.
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.
