Restaurant · Cheltenham
Cheap enough that a family meal doesn't wreck the week's budget — kids' meals are £3.95 as standard, and school holidays have run a £1 child's meal with every adult. One parent fed themselves and two children for £16 including drinks, and the food isn't a compromise: proper homemade quarter-pounder burgers in toasted brioche, shepherd's pie with golden mash, a mixed grill, New York pancakes with chunky bacon on top. Save room for the apple pie or carrot cake. It's roomier and quieter than most cafés in town — one parent with an autistic daughter noted she was comfortable because it wasn't squashed or loud. High chairs, buggy access, vegan options and dog-friendly too, plus outdoor tables good for people-watching. Breakfast is the busy stretch, so arrive early at weekends.
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.
Fast, friendly town-centre café with huge cheap breakfasts and a kids' menu — tightly packed and loud on Saturdays, calmer midweek.
