Cafés · Alton
Freshly refurbished in early 2026, this is a bright, modern space with plenty of tables inside and a heated, covered terrace outside — so there's room to park a pram and spill out with children when it's busy. Staff are described as warm and welcoming, food arrives promptly, and there's a proper pizza oven plus a good spread of gluten-free options alongside vegan choices, a kids' menu and high chairs. Free parking helps. People rave about the galettes and hash brown stack specials, the boerewors roll, the chicken Caesar, and hot chocolates that arrive with marshmallows and an unapologetic amount of whipped cream. Prices are on the steep side — a full English can top £18, coffees around £4 — and outside food isn't allowed, so don't bring your own snacks. Weekends get busy; booking is worth it.

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.
