Cafés · Saxmundham
Tucked into an unassuming spot near Saxmundham, this is a rustic barn conversion with a fire going in winter and a peaceful garden looking out over the church — easy to park free, get a buggy in, and let children potter about outside in warmer months. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the team are consistently warm and happy to accommodate, which matters when you arrive frazzled. Brunch is the thing to come for: the Hodge Podge draws devoted fans, the Three Pigs breakfast and Turkish eggs get raved about, and the homemade cakes and cheese scones are enormous — one scone genuinely does two people. They sell their own honey and granola from the bees. It's a small, cosy place rather than a rowdy one, so busy sunny weekends fill up fast.
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.
