Situated next to Loughborough's heritage railway station, this cafe trades in nostalgia with a thoughtfully restored space that transports you back decades. The menu centres on proper classics, fried breakfasts, sausage baps, and substantial cream teas, all made with genuine care, from real loose-leaf tea to home-made scones and locally sourced ingredients. The bonus: outdoor seating offers unobstructed views of steam trains passing through, making it as much about atmosphere and railway heritage as it is about food.
Why we think it's family friendly
We picked this spot because they genuinely accommodate dietary requirements, having prepared gluten-free and diabetic-friendly afternoon tea menus in advance with real attention to detail. The step-free access and buggy-friendly layout mean buggies and wheelchairs navigate easily, while the calm environment, notably free of intrusive music, suits families with young children or those seeking a quieter outing. The railway setting itself is a draw for kids, and the outdoor tables let families spread out while watching heritage trains.
