Cafés · Wantage
Popping in with a pram is easy here, with covered outdoor seating that genuinely shelters you on a wet day, indoor tables, high chairs and free parking right outside — though a high wall and gravel path make the parking a bit fiddly. The full English gets the loudest praise, a proper plateful at a fair price, alongside breakfast baguettes, jacket potatoes, toasties, sundaes and ice cream that even the dog gets excited about. There's gluten-free bread, vegan options and a little shop selling refillables. The staff are consistently warm — one visitor felt like "an old friend" on their second stop. Two honest snags: sandwiches lean pricey for what they are, and the kitchen can be slow at peak lunchtime, so avoid it when you're on a tight clock or someone's already melting down.
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.
