Cafés · Chester
Chester parents have made this pottery-painting café a regular fixture, and it's easy to see why — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking take the friction out of getting through the door, and there's outdoor seating when the room fills up. The food is properly home-cooked: the club sandwich gets named again and again, breakfast baps with decent sausage and good bacon, tikka wraps and pulled pork paninis at lunch, plus homemade cakes that people regret not ordering. Gluten-free bread and vegan choices are available if you ask. Painting a piece of pottery buys you the time you need with an antsy toddler. It's busy — worth booking, one group found — and while service is usually quick, a Sunday rush has left people waiting 45 minutes.
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.
Roomy tables, high chairs and free parking, with a Sunday roast worth booking ahead for — though it gets noisy when busy.
