Lunch here is a proper sit-down rather than a quick refuel, and it works surprisingly well with children in tow. Buggies get in, high chairs are there, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to decamp when someone's fidgeting — though the team have been known to shut the terrace off in a heatwave. Food comes out fast, which matters when patience is thin, and staff are warm without hovering; you're left to chat and the bill appears when you ask. The French dip sandwich and smashed burger draw the most praise, portions are generous, and the kids' brownie with ice cream goes down well — though one seven-year-old rated the scones higher. There's a kids' menu and vegan options. Two honest snags: it's pricier than average for the area, and lunchtimes are usually rammed, so time it or book.
