Café · Brockenhurst
Brockenhurst sits in the New Forest, so this is a handy stop in Hampshire if you've got children in tow and everyone's hungry. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, so a toddler is genuinely catered for rather than tolerated, and vegan and gluten-free options mean fussy or restricted eaters aren't left with dry toast. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and there's outdoor seating if you'd rather let them wriggle in the open air. It's a quiet spot, so worth booking ahead and coming when your lot are in a calmer mood.
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.
