We recently celebrated Massimo’s second birthday at Little Pickle Play Café, and overall we had a lovely experience. The venue was tidy, clean, and well organised, and all the children had a fantastic time playing. Our host was friendly and welcoming. We also really appreciated the thoughtful little gift they gave to Massimo at the end, it was such a kind gesture, and not every party venue does something like that. The only downsides were that it was very hot inside, as there didn’t seem to be any air conditioning, and there wasn’t a fridge available to store our birthday cake. We had brought a traditional Italian cake that is meant to be kept chilled, so we were quite worried it might be ruined. Thankfully, it survived and everything turned out fine.

Our little girl had the most wonderful second birthday party on Saturday. The food was presented so nicely that the toddlers all actually sat down and ate and the soft play is so spot on. Clean, safe and so much fun for them. She literally ran around smiling the whole time. Thank you, we will definitely recommend you as the perfect place for an under 5’s birthday

We had my daughter’s 4th birthday party at Little Pickles Playroom and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The soft play area was fantastic, really clean, well maintained, and perfect for the kids to enjoy safely. Stevie, who runs it, was absolutely lovely. She was so helpful from start to finish and genuinely couldn’t do enough for us, which made the whole party feel stress-free and special. The food was great, everything was super clean, and the whole place had such a welcoming atmosphere. I’d highly recommend Little Pickles Playroom to anyone looking for a brilliant party venue! Mya

Really lovely little play area. The lady who works there is really great and the coffee was good. The entrance is really reasonable and the toilet facilities were good. Parking can be tricky but you can park in the Church car park and make a £1 donation to the Church which is a really good idea. Overall, a really lovely little play cafe, I'd say aimed at 4 years and younger.

We had our daughters 3rd party here today, hosted by Molly who was fantastic! Attentive party host, brilliant food and great atmosphere. The kids absolutely loved the soft play, role play, sensory toys... just everything! My daughter felt like a princess on her throne during food. Recommended for party hire or somewhere to bring your little one where they can play in a great space. Thank you for having us Little Pickles, we will be back ❤️
