Rising Cafe

What it’s like

A relaxed café for a sit-down breakfast or lunch, with party rooms if you're planning a birthday.

This one's less about entertainment and more about a proper feed somewhere that won't mind you turning up with kids in tow. The menu covers breakfasts, lunches, homemade baked goods and desserts, plus speciality coffees for you and thick American-style milkshakes for them. Cream teas are on there too, which is a nice touch if grandparents are along for the visit.

It's open weekdays from half eight to 4pm and Saturdays 10 to 3, closed Sundays, so this is a weekday or Saturday plan rather than a weekend fallback. Parking is free, both on-street and private, which is one less thing to think about when you're juggling a buggy and a toddler who's decided walking is optional.

There are party rooms if you're after a birthday venue that isn't the usual soft play scrum, and indoor seating throughout means you're not fighting for a table by a window on a wet day. It's a straightforward café setup rather than a big attraction, so treat it as the stop for food and a sit-down rather than the main event of the day.
