Seeing as mealtimes are often one of those rare moments in the day when the whole family gets a chance to sit down together and catch up with one another, it seemed only natural to us at Childfriendly HQ that a food theme would be a good choice for a family day out. So we looked into where ‘foodie families’ might be able to head and, lo and behold, there was an abundant bounty of fun, food-filled days out to gorge ourselves on. From pick-your-own farms to cupcake cafes and chocolate factories! If your family is fond of their food then why not try these great days out?
