Handy for a family lunch when you want something fresh rather than another round of beige kids' food. The counter-style setup means you look at the menu, then go up and choose — quick when someone's hungry, though it does mean juggling a tray with small people in tow. Portions are generous for the price, salads get the loudest praise, and the slow-cooked chicken and butter bean stew come up again and again; the vegetarian and vegan range is wide enough that committed meat-eaters happily eat here too. There's outdoor seating as well as in, high chairs, a kids' menu, and buggy access. Staff are warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere stays relaxed rather than fussy. Worth knowing: some dishes come seasoned with chilli flakes, so ask before loading a child's plate.
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.
