AMAZING pulled pork bao buns. Lively in the evenings - probably best to make a reservation.

(Now called Juliette's) Buzzy little local cafe. Since re-opening post Covid, they have a nice patio area located on Rookstone Road. This is just a stones throw away from Brightwell Crescent! Great coffee and yummy brunches.

We just visited this place for the first time (May 2021) and LOVED it. We had the five course sharing menu with the wine pairing. Great service and delicious food.

Family day trips

We love this place. It’s about a 30 minute drive if you leave early-ish at the weekend. There is a fantastic kids playground (you must book a slot in advance). Take a picnic and spend the day there.

Lovely National Trust Park. Around ten minutes away in the car. Cafe, “natural playground”, river/stream. We often take a picnic, bikes, scooters and spend a morning there. There is also a lovely garden centre and lots of fish tanks in the aquatics centre (the kids love looking at these!).

Our local green space. It’s a 15/20 minute walk (slightly uphill) so worth jumping in the car if you have young kids. There is a free car park on Dr Johnson Avenue. Great playground, cafe and pond.
