A tiny place, so the two ladies running it have made every seat count — and somehow there's usually one free. Breakfast is the reason to come: proper big English breakfasts with coffee and toast included, cooked beautifully and priced kindly, and food that lands fast even when the room is full, which matters when a child has decided they're hungry now. There's a kids' menu, high chairs, and free parking outside, so the whole business of arriving is easy. The staff are genuinely warm with children — one parent says they "can't fault them on anything". It keeps that unfussy workers' café feel rather than anything polished, and there's occasionally live music at breakfast. Being small, it can fill up, and a pram will need parking thoughtfully.

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.
