A laid-back cafe near York where families can pop in for a coffee and a relaxed bite to eat.

Gastropub · Harome, near Helmsley
Set in a thatched village pub near Helmsley, this is a proper occasion place rather than a casual lunch stop — Michelin-starred cooking at £££ prices, so it suits a family celebration more than a Tuesday teatime. That said, they do have a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, and the outdoor seating is useful if little ones need air between courses. The staff are attentive and pace things well, which matters when children are waiting. Food people rave about: the tasting menu, lamb, cauliflower cheese, black pudding with goose liver, and a soufflé that gets mentioned again and again. Worth knowing the dining room tables sit quite close together, so a pram may need parking elsewhere, and you'll want to book. One diner found the seasoning a touch salty in places.

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.
