Coffee Shops · Sleaford
Ordering happens at the till and the food comes to your table, which takes the pressure off when you're juggling a toddler and a tray. The animals are the real draw for children — donkeys, hens, guinea pigs, rabbits and miniature goats to say hello to before or after eating — and there's a farm shop and small garden centre to wander round afterwards. Inside is roomy and tastefully done, with a log burner making it cosy on cold days; in summer there's a quiet outdoor terrace. Breakfasts get the loudest praise, along with the sausages, generous sandwiches served with coleslaw and crisps, and the Mars bar cookie. Service is quick and friendly, everywhere is step-free with an accessible loo, and parking is free and plentiful — though the car park is loose stone, so it's a bumpy push with a pram.
