Restaurants · Lymington
A small menu here, but everything that comes out of the kitchen is worth ordering — one couple who stayed two days said every single dish was exceptional. The room is genuinely lovely and the gardens give children somewhere to run about while you finish your coffee, with outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Staff are warm and unhurried, which matters when you arrive with a pram and a toddler mid-meltdown; high chairs and a kids' menu are on hand, and there are vegan options too. Buggy access is straightforward and parking is free, so no circling Lymington's side streets. Dogs are welcome as well, if yours comes everywhere. It's the sort of place that gets the small things right — worth booking ahead given how few tables a small operation tends to have.
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.
