The Lodge at Lake 12
A laid-back Cirencester café with high chairs, outdoor seating and vegan choices — a lovely, relaxed stop with the family.

Restaurant · Cirencester
A farm-set spot just outside Cirencester that works well as a breakfast or brunch stop, with free parking right there and easy buggy access — handy if you're breaking up a long drive. The setting is relaxed and low-key; even as it fills up on a sunny morning it stays calm, and there's outdoor seating for when the children need to wriggle. The owners are attentive and friendly. Avocado on sourdough, the chorizo sausage roll and the steak sandwich all get singled out, the coffee is a real highlight, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and vegan options. Two honest snags: food can be slow at busy moments, so order early if someone's hungry, and the toilets are in a converted container — clean, but not what everyone expects.

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.
