The Pit Stop Cafe
A warmly-rated Plymouth café with high chairs for little ones — an easy spot to pause for a coffee and a snack.

Restaurant · Plymouth
Sunday lunch here is the main event — the carvery draws people back weekly, with moist turkey, crispy roast potatoes, roasted parsnips and proper gravy, and portions generous enough that most parents won't need to order extra for a small child to share. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, plus free parking outside and outdoor seating for when little ones need air. The team is warm and quick with allergy questions, and gluten-free sides are surprisingly well covered — one family were even offered a gluten-free Yorkshire pudding made to order. Service is usually fast, which matters mid-meltdown. Worth knowing: weekend carvery lunchtimes get busy and things can slip when it's manic, so go earlier or book if you'd rather not queue with a hungry toddler.

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.

Old pub with a log fire, big garden and enclosed play park — but ring ahead, as the kitchen isn't always serving.
