A hotel bar in a 1700s Witney building with a restaurant, café and outdoor seating — an easy, comfortable stop for families.

Cafés · Witney
Set right on the Leys recreation ground, this is the sort of place you end up at after the play area — buggy straight in, tables outside in the sun, free parking, and no one minding if children are loud. Breakfasts are the draw: two full English with a hot drink each has come in around £16, piping hot, with generous extras. The jacket potato with cheese, beans and that properly homemade coleslaw gets its own following, and the pizzas and paninis are well liked too. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and even a doggy menu with puppuccinos. Staff genuinely seem happy to be there and are flexible with orders. Two honest notes: it's small, service can slow at busy times, and the seating isn't the comfiest. One parent calls it "a credit to the town".

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.
