Restaurant · Cheltenham
Just off Regent Street, this is a brunch-first spot that families slot into easily, though it's worth emailing ahead or turning up early — tables go fast and there's no online booking. Downstairs is the calmer choice with a pram; the first floor gets echoey once it fills with chatter. Staff are warm and quick without hovering, and they're relaxed about tweaks to a plate, which helps with a fussy eater. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating, plus vegan and vegetarian options. Poached eggs done properly, strawberry pancakes, the Louisiana benedict and eggs Florentine all get raved about, and portions feel fair for around £12–13. Dogs are welcome too, with their own menu. Coffee is good if a touch small. One parent sums it up as "cosy, vibrant and calm" all at once.
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.
Fresh sushi and generous curries in a calm, well-spaced dining room — book ahead, bring hungry children, and skip the puddings.
