Wholesome food for all ages: Family dining at Discovery Village
Our family-friendly café is nestled right in the heart of our imaginative role play village. Whether you’re joining us for a morning of play or taking a well-earned break from exploring, our café offers a warm and welcoming space to refuel with food that’s just as thoughtful as our play experiences.
At Discovery Village, we believe food should be good, honest, and nourishing — for both children and adults. That’s why everything we serve is freshly prepared on site each day, using quality ingredients and a big helping of care. Our menu has been designed with families in mind, offering a colourful mix of healthy, hearty, and delicious options that everyone will love.
Eat and drink well: Freshly prepared meals, every day
We don’t serve fried food — and we don’t think you’ll miss it. Instead, our breakfast menu is full of satisfying choices like bacon brioches, sausage baps, creamy avocado on toast, and our ever-popular granola, banana and honey yoghurt. For a lighter treat, try one of our freshly baked pastries with a cup of Jurassic Coast coffee or an iced latte.
As the day rolls on, our lunch menu takes centre stage. Enjoy warm toasted sandwiches (all available with gluten-free bread), avocado and halloumi on artisan sourdough, or a comforting bowl of tomato and basil soup. For little ones, our Children’s Meal Deal offers a balanced and tasty lunch that keeps energy levels up for more playtime. We’re proud to offer something different from the usual play centre fare — our food is as colourful, seasonal and playful as the environment around it.
Our menu
Sweet treats and great coffee: Refuel while they play
Sweet treats? Of course! We serve a tempting array of cakes and snacks all day long — from our giant layered Victoria sponge to our rich gluten-free chocolate fudge cake and ever-popular millionaire shortbread. There’s always something to satisfy your sweet tooth — whether you’re big or small.
Stay refreshed: Barista Coffee, kids’ juices & dairy-free Smoothies
Our drinks menu includes freshly made smoothies, thick milkshakes, chilled fridge drinks, children’s juice cartons, and Innocent smoothies — ideal for a quick refresh between adventures. And for grown-ups needing a caffeine fix, our locally roasted Jurassic Coast coffee is a must-try.
Deliciously different: Healthy café options for kids and grown-ups
We understand that many children (and grown-ups!) have dietary requirements, so we make it easy to find options that suit your needs. We offer plenty of vegan and dairy-free choices, and all our toasted sandwiches can be made using gluten-free bread.
We also know that healthy eating supports growing minds. Just as our role play village helps children learn through imagination and discovery, our food aims to nourish them from the inside out — giving them the energy and focus to enjoy every moment of play.
We look forward to welcoming you for a bite, a brew, or a slice of cake soon.
