Brunch is the main event here, and it's the sort of place that rewards an early start — Saturday mornings fill fast, so book if you're making a trip of it. Portions land generously and prettily: crispy-fluffy waffles, biscoff banana French toast, a maple mustard breakfast croissant, eggs Florentine so loaded with mushrooms that finishing one is a genuine challenge. Herby potatoes come alongside instead of the usual limp garnish. The team are patient and genuinely accommodating — one group of thirteen turned up unannounced and had outside tables pulled together for them, and allergies get taken seriously rather than shrugged at. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and vegan options are all sorted, and there's an outdoor area (dog-friendly) worth grabbing in decent weather. Parking is free but limited, and weekends get properly busy.

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.
