Café · Hertford
A gluten-free-friendly café and bakery in Hertford that's set up for the youngest end of the family — high chairs are there, there's a kids' menu, and you can get a buggy in without a step to negotiate. The quiet noise level makes it a gentler choice than a busy chain: easier for a nap in the pram, and easier for a chat while a toddler works through a snack. Worth knowing about if someone in the family avoids gluten, since that's covered too. At ££ it's a middling spend for a café stop.
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.
