Last week, I popped in to the city centre to grab a few things, you know the usual, Ella's Kitchen pouches from Boots, a couple of birthday cards from the Card Factory and more leggings from Peacocks. It was meant to be a flying visit, but of course, the Little One decided to have a meltdown so we had to stop somewhere to refuel.
Normally, I run in to Matalan or John Lewis, but on this particular day, M&S was our sanctuary. And a great little sanctuary it was as well.
The cafe was busy enough, but had plenty of room for prams. I grabbed a quick bottle of water (so I have no idea about the food, sorry!), and fed the Little One her milk. Aaah, peace and quiet.
The cafe was clean, and the changing facilities were great. An ideal pit stop for when your Little Ones are having a meltdown and you are in need of coffee/cake/chocolate (delete as appropriate).
What I had: Just a bottle of water on this occasion, but next time I'd go for one of the cakes. Oh, I also nipped downstairs to grab the Dine for £10 offer - perfect for a Friday night! Update - I went back this week and ordered food and would highly recommend it. I had the macaroni cheese with salad and dressing for £6. It was a substantial size and very creamy - top marks!)
Access: The cafe is pretty big, with plenty of tables. It was ticking along nicely when I was there, and I didn't feel in the way with a pram.
Nappy changing: The changing room was big, and had everything necessary. Also, there was a toilet in the same room - always a bonus for a Mummy with weak pelvic floor muscles!
High chairs: I didn't see any as it was a quick stop. But, as the changing facilities were so good, I reckon there must be a couple of high chairs available.
Pram parking: As mentioned, plenty of room.
Car parking: You could park in St David's, or get almost any bus in to the city centre.
