Cannot rave enough about Positive Deli Satory
Here they serve bountiful plates of healthy, delicious looking salads, even a fussy toddler may be tempted to try. They also have chicken/ falafel wraps and sweet potato chips if you need to play it safer. With easy buggy access and a large toilet.
🍼 Stroller-friendly: Yes (ish). It can be hard work to open the doors and heave the buggy in – there’s a teeny bit of space to park them but not huge inside. Sitting outside is the better option if possible – although here it’s also a bit tight for space.
