Vegan Restaurant · Reading
Tucked into Caversham, this vegan spot manages the rare trick of feeling relaxed and chatty at once, with the music kept at a level where you can still hear each other. There's proper room between tables — wide enough for a pram or wheelchair — plus high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seating for when small people need air. Parking is ample and free, and the loos are reliably clean. Food is where it really sings: the gnocchi gets called a 10/10, the mac and cheese arrives huge and made for sharing, and the wraps are generous. Tofu knots do the job if someone needs protein, and the pecan pie is worth staying for. Prices sit a little above average, though the ingredients and portions explain it. Small plates and smoothies suit lighter, hotter days.
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.
