Restaurant · Cheltenham
An old building with real character, which is lovely to sit in but does mean steep, narrow stairs — worth knowing if you're carrying a baby or a folded pram. Otherwise families do well here: high chairs, a kids' menu, outdoor seating when the weather plays along, and free parking so you're not circling the block with tired children in the back. Lunch is the strong point — bao buns, soup of the day, a decent burger and a toasted focaccia with pork and apple sauce all get a good write-up, and the menu is broad enough to keep a fussy eater happy. The cooked breakfast is generous too. Staff stay warm even when it's heaving, and nobody blinks at a lively five-year-old at the next table. Prices sit a touch high for what lands, so come for the food rather than a bargain.
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.
