Restaurants · Rye
Set inside a lovely old building in the middle of Rye, this is a calm, unhurried spot for brunch or lunch with children in tow — high chairs are there, there's a kids' menu, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to breathe when small people need to wriggle. The staff are consistently warm and attentive, checking in without hovering, and food comes out fast and freshly made, which matters when someone's hungry and losing patience. The full English wins praise for its local sausage, the grazing boards and afternoon tea are the things people rave about, and there's a two-course lunch around £25 that comes with bread and an appetiser. Vegan options are on the menu. Portion sizes on breakfast can underwhelm, and it's worth booking at busy times. Children are also weirdly delighted by the golden toilet.
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.
