Mr & Mrs Smith in Cookie Mag
Posted by Anthony on September 25th, 2008Tamara’s done one or two pieces for the Going Places blog, over at stylish Stateside parenting mag, Cookie (this month she’s covered child-friendly London cafés), but we’re delighted to see that the the nice folk on the print magazine have chosen to do a little feature on us too. You can’t buy a copy here in the UK sadly, so here’s a hint of what Blighty-based Smiths are missing.
(The picture, in case it’s whet your tropical-travel appetite, is from Turtle Inn, Francis Ford Coppola’s gorgeous beach resort on the coast of Belize).
Strawbale Cafe at Freightliners Farm, Sheringham Road, London, N7 8PF
(Tel: 020 7609 0467)
Between Caledonian Rd and Islington, just off the Holloway Rd.
My dear friend Kirsty Drury (also a Smith reviewer) volunteers at this city farm and so I popped along yesterday and it’s my new favourite child-friendly café in London!
Amazing vegetarian food, super-affordable and enormous portions….

My one-year-old’s eyes were already on stalks when she saw the huge plate of fruit crumble and chocolate cakes – but you should have seen them when she got to stroke cows, pigs and huge white Alice in Wonderland-style bunnies! Slap, bang in the city. Apparently it never gets too busy there, and parking is easy except on match days (it’s quite near Arsenal football ground).
