Café · Nottingham
Weekend brunch here fills up fast — one Saturday visit at 11 found it busy but with tables still free, though food took a while to arrive once the kitchen was under pressure. Worth knowing if you've got a hungry toddler; order something quick alongside. The atmosphere sits in a nice middle ground, chatty enough that a noisy child won't stand out, calm enough to sit with a book. Staff take it in their stride and will happily tweak a breakfast that isn't on the menu, which helps with fussy eaters. Pancakes are the thing to order — soft, generously topped — along with the buttermilk French toast, truffle hashbrowns and homemade baked beans. Portions are big enough that children often can't finish. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access, vegan options and outdoor seating are all here. QR or table ordering.
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.
