I think you need to do both -- a healthy, modern choice is certainly welcome, but "classics" are called that because they always sell. I think from a purely commercial perspective it would be unwise to not offer them and thereby exclude probably quite a large part of their clientele. (Case in point: Compare the Skylark's ambitious menu when they first opened to what they offer now!)petal wrote:not the unhealthy boring classic choices of sausage or fish and chips.
Thank you will defiently keep your post in mind2009Kat wrote:The kids menu looks lovely but ambitious - my kids would eat nothing off that (as babies they would have!) Suggest you add in some of the "classics" like sausages, pasta etc because there is a reason they are on most menus!
Thank you Alchemy- I will look into it! All very new to me so thank you for pointing that out!Alchemy wrote:Your survey is broken, in Question 4 I should be able to select multiple options, not just one, and in others the answers are not mutually exclusive.
Thank you Gingercat2- We have very similar views, i want all the above and more!! Weetabix are a great choice i have just always found them so hit & miss with kids!Gingercat2 wrote:Have taken the survey...there are multiple answers as to what I look for in a child friendly cafe.
Space for scooter/ or pram
Good choice of food..no nuggets or sausage and chips please
Activity like colouring provided
Cutlery
Space
Friendly staff
Clean environment
I don't ask for much!
Harvester has a very well thought out menu, with opt in and out selections of food, colouring, relaxed environment and children's cutlery.
I would add weetabix to you cereals..i.would say your toast toppings could be more varied..jam and honey are very sugary.
Marmite or peanut butter are good too x
Thank you 2009Kat- Have had a read through and some great comments!2009Kat wrote:Actually one more thought - you might want to search NVN for posts about the Crumpet café that used to be on Northcote. It did try to do what you are thinking of (nice food, space for prams, small play section...) and was great before it went downhill/out of business. Just so you can consider all angles etc.
