Cafés · Horsham
Tucked beside Sumners Pond on the edge of Southwater Country Park, this is the sort of accidental find that becomes a habit — water views from plenty of seating inside and out, free parking, and buggy access that doesn't involve a wrestling match. The open sandwiches are the thing to get: thick grilled sourdough, generously loaded, served as a proper meal rather than a snack, with a vegan chickpea and bhaji version and gluten-free bread available. Burgers use beef from their own farm, the chips arrive properly hot, and the cheesecake gets talked about. You order at the counter and the team brings food out; service is quick and genuinely warm with children. Nearby you can buy a £3 bag of feed for the cows, which buys you a good twenty minutes. Sunny weekends get busy, and the fish and chips is the weak link.
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.
