Cafés · Diss
A proper sit-down lunch stop in the middle of Diss, handy for a break after the shops or museum, with tables outside for sitting in the sun and free parking nearby. Sandwiches and baguettes are made fresh — prawn with Marie Rose, tuna mayo, bacon in a soft roll — and portions are big enough that most children can share rather than need their own, though there's a kids' menu too. It's open Sundays when much of the town isn't, which is worth knowing. High chairs are there, buggies get in fine, and dogs are welcome. Coffee is good but on the dear side at around £3.80. Standards do wobble at busy moments, so it's worth a look at the specials board before committing to a bigger cooked dish.
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.
