Cafés · Hexham
A cafe at the top of a car park sounds unpromising, and that's exactly what makes this one such a happy surprise — the cooking is fresh and properly seasoned, closer to a good brunch spot than a greasy spoon. Breakfast is the main event: herby Lincolnshire sausages on sourdough, halloumi chips, Turkish eggs, a well-regarded veggie and vegan spread, and a bacon sandwich that regulars insist you order with a poached egg added. Food arrives quickly, which matters when a toddler has hit their limit, and the staff are warm and unhurried with children — one family found their girls happily settled with books and colouring. High chairs, buggy access, outdoor seating and a kids' menu are all sorted, and the free car park is right there. It's small and gets busy, so expect a cosy squeeze at peak times.
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.
Bigger inside than it looks, with a garden, generous Italian plates, a strong vegan menu and free parking — book ahead.
