Cafés · Bristol
Tucked beside an indoor skate park with free parking outside, this is an easy stop with children in tow — buggies get in without a fight, there are high chairs, a kids' menu, and a box of toys that buys you a good twenty minutes of peace. The stone-baked pizzas are the reason most people come back; regulars call them "in a league of their own", and the coffee, cakes and halloumi rolls hold their own too. Outdoor seating helps on a warm day, and the room is clean, roomy and laid out well, with skate memorabilia on the walls to look at. Staff are friendly and relaxed about a bit of noise. Worth knowing: pizzas are made to order, so on a busy day the wait can stretch — order early if someone's already hungry.

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.
