Restaurant · Norwich
A garden centre with a proper restaurant attached, this one earns its keep on a wet Saturday — free parking, buggy access throughout, high chairs and a kids' menu, and a farm shop and plant houses to wander round when small people have had enough of sitting. Portions are big enough that families often order the smaller roast and still leave full; the roast gravy gets particular praise, the cooked breakfasts are hearty (large juicy mushrooms, well-cooked poached eggs), and the cakes are all made on site. Afternoon tea has a real following. Book for Sunday lunch — it fills up. Worth knowing: food can take a while, prices sit at the higher end, service quality varies, and the exit pulls onto a very busy main road.
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.
