Restaurant · Totnes
Right on the water outside Totnes, this is the kind of spot that works whether you've got a toddler mid-meltdown or a whole family celebrating something. Buggy access is easy, there are high chairs and a kids' menu, and the team have a reputation for being genuinely warm with small children rather than merely tolerant. The hash stack gets rapturous mentions at breakfast, and later in the day it's wood-fired pizzas with a crispy thin crust, proper burgers and good fries. Outdoor seating for sunny afternoons, a fire going inside when it's cold, and hot chocolate worth the drive. Two honest snags: parking is £6, though that covers all day, and the kitchen can stop taking orders when it's slammed at weekends — so book, and don't arrive hungry on spec.
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.
