Green 17 Bistro on Station Road has a genuinely warm, welcoming feel — the kind of place where staff are friendly and the food is consistently well put together, from good coffee and weekend breakfasts to nicely presented meals. It's a comfortable spot for families, with highchairs available, a kids' menu, and buggy-friendly access making it easy to arrive with little ones in tow; there's also some outdoor space, which is handy on a decent day. Vegan options are on the menu too, though there's no baby-changing facility on site, so worth bearing in mind if you have very young ones.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
