Saffron Tandoori
Mid-range Indian in Basingstoke with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free options — booking advised.

Café · Basingstoke
A community café that keeps turning up in weekend breakfast plans, this one is genuinely built for young families — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu, free parking, and a little playground where children can burn off energy while the food is being cooked. The fry-ups are the draw: butcher's sausages, crispy bacon, proper fried toast, and a vegetarian version people rate just as highly, all at prices that barely register. Outdoor seating makes sunny mornings easy, and dogs are welcome too. Staff are warm and happy to tweak an order, which helps when someone small has opinions. Food is honest rather than fancy — one visitor calls it "cheap and cheerful" — but the welcome is the point, and it runs as a community project supporting a local cause.

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.
