About The Dickens

Expect a bit of a buzz — this is a lively spot rather than a hushed one, which is good news if your toddler is having a loud day and less good if you were hoping for a quiet lunch. There are high chairs and a kids' menu, so you can walk in with small children and not have to improvise a meal for them. Outdoor seating gives you somewhere to take a fidgety child, and step-free access means the buggy comes in with you instead of being folded at the door. Gluten-free options are available, and it's worth booking ahead.
