"For anyone thinking about this, Jack and I went today and it was fab. The food was delicious and it was so nice to be in an environment where I felt relaxed if Jack kicked off and when he got quite loud (he’s not patient when he’s hungry 🤣) Will be going back next month for another cooked breakfast."
