Cafés · Wareham
Handy if you're heading back from the Tank Museum and someone in the back seat needs feeding before a long drive — this is a proper little café rather than anywhere fancy, with a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking so you're not circling with a buggy in tow. Outdoor seating helps if your two are noisy. Food is cooked fresh to order, which does mean a wait for a full English, but portions arrive genuinely huge — one visitor admitted defeat on the biggest breakfast. Jacket potatoes come out soft and fluffy, the paninis and ploughman's get repeat praise, and the cakes are worth saving room for. The owners and staff are warm and welcoming, prices are fair for the quantity, and it feels clean and pleasant. Worth checking they're open before you commit — signage has misled people.
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.
