Cafés · Redruth
A proper truck-stop café that doesn't look like much from the road, but families have been coming here for fifteen years and the plates arrive loaded. Roast dinners, steak and kidney pie, and the hungry man's all-day breakfast all get raved about, and portions are big enough that children can share — desserts come double-sized too. It's cheap, there's a kids' menu, high chairs, free parking and outdoor seating, and buggies get in without a fight. Dogs are welcome as well. Staff are chatty and good-humoured with families. The honest snag: it gets busy and food can be slow — some report waits of 45 minutes or more at peak times, so it's not the place to arrive with a child already at breaking point. Go early, order quickly, and eyes up for the cakes on the way out.
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.
