Café · Bury Saint Edmunds
Set in a tidy countryside spot outside town, this is a big, airy space with high ceilings, a large indoor room and outdoor tables, plus a generous, well-marked car park that makes the pram-and-car-seat shuffle painless. You find a seat, order at the counter and they bring it out fast — useful when someone's hungry and wobbling. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the team come across as genuinely happy to be there, unhurried even near closing. The food does the heavy lifting: crisp tuna and cheese toasties with dressed salad and slaw, fresh bread, proper coffee, and scones one family reckons are "as big as a baby's head". Two honest notes — the acoustics bounce, so it can get loud, and prices creep up more than you'd expect for a café.

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.
