Cafés · Thirsk
Set back off the road near Skipton Bridge, this is an easy one with small children — a big free car park right outside, level access in, and enough room that a pram isn't in anyone's way. Inside it's calm and immaculate, with patio doors looking out over the garden, so a fidgety toddler has something to watch. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone is melting down, and it's freshly made: the huge scones with clotted cream get mentioned again and again, and one parent singles out the whipped butter served alongside. Afternoon tea is worth planning around if you've got older children. High chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor tables are all here. One snag — opening hours aren't well signposted, so ring ahead before you drive over.
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.
