Set a few minutes from Alton Towers, this is the kind of stop that rescues the end of a long theme-park day — and the food is the surprise. Evenings bring proper Thai: rich, fragrant curries, a Pad Thai people still think about, generous portions, and a panang with tofu for anyone avoiding meat. The bar next door does pizzas, burgers and a three-small-dishes deal around £15 if children want something plainer. There's a garden and outdoor seating, free parking, high chairs and a kids' menu, and buggy access throughout. Staff are genuinely warm with little ones — one family had the whole team come up to sing happy birthday to their three-year-old. Breakfast gets particular praise for attention and value. It can get busy, and the two menus confuse first-timers, so ask when you arrive.
