A restaurant-café with a genuinely epic play area attached, rather than a soft play with a beige menu — and that's the point. Parents settle in with a proper drink and a plate they actually want, while children aged roughly three to eight dress up and tear about in a large, safe space you can see from your table. There's a secluded kids' area where little ones play within arm's reach of your food. The pizzas are fresh-made and huge, the Sunday roast is a draw, and homemade fish fingers beat the usual nuggets; the £12 children's menu includes play access. Staff are notably patient — one family with an autistic child had never seen him so settled somewhere new. High chairs, buggy access and free parking. The play area books up, so call ahead, and salads run small for the price.
