A relaxed, mid-priced cafe at Combe Grove in Bath — an easy, welcoming spot to pause over coffee.

Restaurants · Bath
A country pub a short drive out of Bath, with a big free car park behind and gardens that make the outdoor tables genuinely usable on a warm day. The menu roams further than you'd expect — fish and chips people rave about, pizzas, Buddha bowls, spicy roast chicken, seafood — and it holds up across the range, with vegan options and a kids' menu alongside. High chairs are there, and buggy access is straightforward. What families notice most is the staff: chatty, quick, checking back without hovering, the sort who "chat to you like you're old friends". Inside is cosy rather than cavernous, with a fireplace, and it stays quiet enough for a proper conversation. One caveat — the kitchen has been known to run a pared-back menu on quieter Sundays, so it's worth booking and checking what's on.

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.
