Cafés · Alresford
A queue system with tablets gets you seated quickly midweek, though weekends and holidays can mean a wait — go early if you've got restless children in tow. Inside there's room for around 15 tables plus plenty of outdoor seating, which is where you'll want to be on a sunny day with a pram beside you. Worth knowing the room echoes when it's full, so conversation gets shouty at peak times. The stacked fruit pancakes are what people come back for, alongside big cooked breakfasts, avocado toast and a vegan burrito that gets genuine raves. Portions are generous and prices reasonable for what arrives. The staff handle allergy requests and swaps without fuss, and table service is quick. High chairs, a kids' menu and free parking sort the practicalities.
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.
