Diner · Nottingham
Breakfast is the main event here, and it's cooked properly — hash browns shredded and fried on the spot, pancakes people come back for, and combos like the "Bad Ass" piling on sausage, bacon, mushrooms and eggs for very little money. Portions are generous, and unlimited tea, coffee and orange juice comes with many of the plates (alternative milks are available now too). It's a small, cosy room with the grill in view, which children tend to find fascinating, and the staff are good at squeezing prams and families in even when it's packed. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all covered. It does fill up — one parent describes it as "ram packed" at weekends — and the bottomless coffee can run thin near closing. Polish home cooking appears on weekend evenings.
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.
