Right in the middle of the village, this is the kind of easy, low-fuss stop that works when you've got small children and no patience left — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu, and pavement tables for when the sun's out. Food comes quickly and portions are generous: baked potatoes with coronation chicken, nachos, baguettes, and a veggie breakfast at £9.95 that's served right through to 1:30pm, which is a gift on a slow morning. The coffee and cheesecake get particular praise, and the cream tea is worth ordering. Staff are warm and genuinely accommodating with families — one visitor arrived soaked and was handed tea towels. Two car parks nearby, one free from November to March. Worth knowing: dogs aren't allowed inside, only at the pavement seating, which has caught a few families out in cold weather.

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.
