Brunch · Stafford
Tucked in a quaint, historic corner of Stafford with a view of the old church, this is a small, cosy spot — most of the seating is downstairs, with more upstairs if the ground floor fills up. Worth knowing the pew-style benches are a bit awkward for taller adults, and the room is snug rather than roomy, so a pram is easier parked outside where there's also outdoor seating. Food comes out hot and fast, which matters when a toddler is fraying. The dairy-free milkshakes are a genuine hit with children, the vegan breakfast and eggs Benedict with salmon get raved about, and the team handle allergies with real confidence. Staff are warm with children too — one parent describes being made to feel "relaxed rather than in the way".

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.
