Sandwich shop · Derby
A café and bakery in Derby with a strong local reputation, this is the sort of place you can walk into with a toddler and a buggy without a second thought — step-free access, high chairs waiting, and a kids' menu so nobody has to negotiate over a shared adult sandwich. Gluten-free options mean a child with a coeliac diagnosis or a dairy-free-adjacent food rule isn't stuck with the same sad plate every time. The noise sits at a comfortable middle: chatty enough that a loud two-year-old blends in, calm enough to actually hear each other.
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.
