Cafés · Dursley
Set in a garden centre just outside Dursley, this is the kind of place you can let children off the lead for a bit — there's a play area, sun-baked courtyards with shade and views, and a short walk down to a small lake when someone needs to burn off energy before lunch. Eating spaces are big and relaxed rather than cramped, so a pram isn't a problem, and free parking makes the whole thing easier. Breakfast is the thing to come for: avocado and poached eggs on sourdough, generous portions, very good coffee. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options, plus a deli to raid for treats on the way out. It's popular enough that booking ahead is wise, and café service can be slow when it's busy.
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.
