Café · Barnsley
Weekend brunch here is the sort of thing families plan their morning around, though it's worth knowing the ground floor fills up fast — there's a whole downstairs room many people don't spot, and a group of six waited about fifteen minutes for a table. Once you're in, the atmosphere is warm rather than hushed, and the staff are smiley and genuinely welcoming, which helps when you're juggling a high chair. The scrambled eggs on buttery soft toast, Turkish eggs, the hot honey chicken sandwich and the congee all get raved about, portions are generous, and the gluten-free and vegan choices are unusually well done. Sweet treats — the banana bread especially — are hard to walk past on the way out. Prices are a notch above the average café; one parent reckoned the quality made it "110% 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.
Barnsley rodizio grill where meat is carved at your table — quick, roomy and genuinely welcoming, though it's a treat-price outing.
