Great coffee and great brunch and lunch options. Famous for theirs eggs and avo brunches. Ask for their hot mango sauce to go with it if you like a kick...it's awesome. Oh and their juices are wonderful.

The BEST pizza in Bristol - seriously! They are on Deliveroo too so it arrives super hot because it's so close but when they get busy, which is regular in the evenings, they come off the site. Just in case you are pre-planning!

They are free to book and we often go on a big walk and then end up here with toys and books and the kids can play and we can eat and drink. Food is excellent!

This is a really wonderful little petting farm for kids which is free to visit. They have a small play area and a must-see cafe which feels like a hobbit house. Really great coffee and food here. This is a must if you're with kids. If you walk along Cromwell Road and then down Hurlingham Road, there is a small entrance opposite Hurlingham Road on the other side of Ashley Hill which is the path through the allotments which leads you to the farm. This is the fun route!
