The Old Smithy Tearooms & Restaurant
A friendly, fast-serving Bakewell stop with buggy access, high chairs and free parking — small inside, so grab an outdoor table when sunny.

Café · Buxton
Coffee and cake with kids in tow is straightforward here — there are high chairs, a kids' menu, and step-free access, so a buggy and a hungry toddler don't turn the visit into a project. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to let restless children stretch out, and the noise level is moderate, so a bit of chatter or a wobble won't stand out. Vegan and gluten-free options mean fussy or restricted eaters in the group are covered too, and at ££ it won't sting for a quick 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.
