Restaurant · Nottingham
A cat café in the middle of Nottingham that works better with children than you'd expect — it's essentially soft play with cats, and kids who love animals come out talking about it for the rest of the day. The room is calm rather than chaotic, with buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, and the cats have space to wander, play or nap on the bench beside you. Staff explain the rules gently to everyone, know the cats well, and are patient with excitable children. Food nets over your plate stop a hopeful paw reaching your pizza, and toys are out for anyone who wants to play. The cakes and coffee are a real strength, portions are reasonably priced, and food arrives quickly. Quieter sessions mean friendlier cats, so book ahead — one visitor found their drinks came out cold.
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.
