Café · Norwich
Tucked by a pond on the edge of Broadland Business Park, this is the sort of find you stumble on by accident and then keep going back to. Tables are well spaced and the room stays calm, so a pram isn't a problem and nobody minds a wriggly toddler; high chairs and free parking take the faff out of arriving. Service is quick and warm — menus and drinks land within a minute of sitting down. Portions are generous for the price: the steak and ale pie with mash draws real praise, paninis are cooked to order, and even the side salad gets effort. There's a kids' menu, decent vegetarian choices, and terrace seating by the water for still mornings. Worth knowing: there's a small surcharge to eat outside, and it's a lunch place rather than an all-day one.
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.
