Cafés · Newnham
Right by the River Severn, this family-run café has the kind of space parents notice straight away — plenty of room inside plus loads of outdoor tables, so a pram isn't a problem and nobody minds if the little ones are restless. Parking is free and easy. Food comes out fast and hot, which matters when someone's hitting meltdown point, and portions are generous, properly home-cooked rather than commercial café fare. The big breakfast at around twelve quid with a mug of tea gets rave mentions, as do the cakes and the wide dessert selection. Vegan options, high chairs and a kids' menu are all sorted, and dogs are welcome too. It's genuinely popular, so at busy weekend brunch times the counter can back up — worth a little patience.
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.
