Cafés · Sheffield
Set in a converted schoolhouse, this is the kind of place you can bring a pram into without apologising, and the outdoor seating is genuinely lovely in the sunshine. The breakfast bagel with hash browns gets rave mentions, as do the brisket and cheese sandwich, the fish and chips, and proper fat chips — portions are generous enough that the slightly higher prices feel fair. Gluten-free and vegan eaters are well looked after; one family's coeliac relative managed a full breakfast and called it outstanding. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and free parking, and the staff are warm with children and dogs alike. Two honest snags: book ahead, especially at weekends, because tables fill fast, and drinks service can drag when it's busy. Coffee is Origin, and the cake selection is a proper reward after a walk.
