Café · Newbury
A small independent café tucked down a side street in Newbury, this is the sort of place families come back to for years rather than discover once. Portions are generous — the cooked breakfast in particular — and the scones are baked on site, so they arrive fresh rather than sitting under glass. There's an unusually big range of vegan and gluten-free food for a café this size, including a full vegan breakfast, plus cakes and milkshakes that keep children occupied. High chairs and a kids' menu are there when you need them, buggy access is straightforward, and there are outdoor tables for warmer days. Staff stay friendly even on a busy Saturday, and prices are gentle — one parent, visiting from London, found it genuinely cheap. It's compact, so weekends can fill up quickly.
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.
