Restaurant · Stroud
A stop on the road out towards Chalford, this is the kind of Cotswolds coffee shop that fills up fast — worth knowing before you arrive with a pram, though free parking sits directly outside (spaces are limited, so come early). The menu is long enough to please fussy eaters, with a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, plus outdoor seating for warmer days. Breakfast is the draw: eggs Benedict, pancakes, a Reuben sandwich people rave about, and grilled goats cheese and walnut sandwiches with genuinely good portions. The chai and cappuccino get singled out too. Two honest snags — service can crawl at busy times, with one family waiting 40 minutes for a cooked breakfast, and prices feel steep for what lands. The room can be chilly in winter, and the toilets are upstairs. Staff are consistently described as friendly and helpful.

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.
