Café · Stroud
Perched over Stroud high street, this is a cosy, properly busy little café where the food does the talking — sweetcorn fritters come up again and again, along with excellent eggs, good vegan and vegetarian choices, and cake that looks freshly made. There's a family room and more seating upstairs, with a small play area and views over the street, though that's the catch for anyone with a pram: it's a tight squeeze up the stairs and cramped in places. Staff are warm and unflustered, good with children and relaxed about late arrivals, and dogs get treats. Worth knowing it's not cheap, and at peak times food can take a while — one parent waited 35 minutes for paninis — so it suits a leisurely stop rather than a fast refuel. High chairs, kids' menu, outdoor seating and free parking.
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.
