Restaurant · Birmingham
Bigger inside than it looks from the street, which matters when you arrive with a buggy and a hungry toddler in tow — there's a back section the staff will guide you through to, plus a garden and undercover outdoor seating that's lovely in the sunshine. Brunch is the main event: home-made hash browns, pulled pork tortillas, avo eggs with pico de gallo, a butcher's breakfast, pancake and crumpet variations, and a proper vegan option alongside. Portions are generous and prices fair, though the butcher's breakfast sits at the pricier end. High chairs and a kids' menu are there, and the staff are genuinely warm — you can order at the table rather than wrestle with the QR code. Music sits at a sensible volume. It gets busy at the front, so expect a short wait at peak brunch time.

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.
