Cafés · Dorking
A café that's been a Box Hill fixture for decades, sitting right by the car park at the bottom of the hill — free daytime parking, plenty of space for a buggy, and clean toilets on site. There's masses of outdoor seating plus a decent amount of room indoors, so seating a family is rarely a scramble. Food is freshly cooked, generous and gently priced: the pizzas, chicken wings and fries get the most love, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. The bikes parked up outside and the motorbike-themed décor keep small children entertained while you wait. Staff are warm and unhurried with families. Worth knowing: sunny weekends get very busy and food can take a while, so go early or expect a wait.
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.
