Cafés · Nottingham
A little gem tucked near the Asda in Arnold, this is the kind of cheap, cheerful breakfast stop that works when you've got a pram and a hungry toddler. Table service means you sit down, order, and pay at the end — no queuing while someone wriggles. It's clean and recently done up, with high chairs, a kids' menu, vegan options and free parking outside. The full English gets the most love — sausages, runny eggs, mushrooms, hash brown, all properly cooked — and the coffee is genuinely good. Nine mini samosas and a pot of tea came to under £7, so it's kind on the budget. Two snags worth knowing: there's a step at the door, which is awkward with a buggy, and no toilet, so sort that before you arrive. Very quiet on weekdays; one parent wished for a bit of background music.
