Can't decide where to go so you can enjoy a coffee or a spot of lunch without feeling that you're in the way? My website will hopefully help with that decision. I review coffee shops and restaurants and anywhere else I think parents might be interested in.

Each coffee shop/cafe/restaurant will be marked on the following.
1. Access in and around the premises with a pushchair.
2. Do you feel welcome? Is the staff helpful?
3. Cleanliness of baby changing facilities.
4. High chairs and other children’s facilities (i.e. play area)
5. Coffee & Cakes, children’s menu and price.

Pizza Hut - Amesbury Solistice Park

On the 2nd August we met friends Victoria and Alex for lunch at Pizza Hut in Solistice Park near Amesbury. We booked the table on line to make sure we could get a table as sometimes Pizza Huts can be so busy. When we arrived our table was decorated with balloons and a high chair for Henry was already in place. My first impressions are very good, it was unusually clean and smelt fresh. Those that have been to a Pizza Hut will know that they can be grubby and have thier own unique odour.
Victoria decorated Henry a hat as we chatted about their holiday and decided which pizza we were going to order. We took so long but we did not feel rushed, the wai
ting staff enjoyed the smiles given by Henry.


We all commented on how impressed we were with the staff and the service. I will definitely return to this Pizza Hut.
The changing facilities are very roomy and clean, as usual you can find the change table in the disabled toilet.
The restaurant atmosphere is very friendly, nobody seemed to mind that Henry was very vocal that day, laughing with Victoria and running around after the balloons. He had just started walking a week earlier so he was keen to get down from his chair and stretch his legs.

Overall I will give this Pizza Hut a 4.5* out of a possible 5.
Access:
Great, large wide entrance with automatic doors, great for wheelchair users and pushchair pushers.
Welcome: Very good, and it is great that you can book on line. Balloons and crayons are provided for children.
Cleanliness: Excellent, is this a new Pizza Hut?
High Chairs: Basic high chairs, it's a shame they don't have the nice wooden ones that bring the babies closer to the table.
Coffee & Cake: Coffee should have been better as it was Costa, but I was disappointed. Nobody had pudding as we ate too much pizza.
