Cafés · Lincoln
Tucked into a quaint old building on the edge of Lincoln, this is a tea-room-style café that punches well above what the word "café" suggests — everything freshly cooked, a specials board that changes daily, and local produce doing the heavy lifting. Breakfast is the thing people come back for, including a vegan version around £7, alongside jacket potatoes, generous vegetarian choices, homemade scones and a cake counter that's hard to walk past. Berry smoothies go down well with children, and there's jam on toast for the fussy ones. High chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking make the logistics easy, and there's outdoor seating for warmer days. The staff are consistently warm and patient. Portions on the lighter lunches can vary, and the afternoon tea doesn't always match the photos — stick to breakfast and cake.

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.
