little Green Frog Café — Restaurant in Lichfield

Great place for little ones under 4. Far better than the bigger more commercial soft play places. Safer for toddlers and babies, adults can go in to assist but also see the whole play area from their table. Only lost a little star because some of the play equipment could have done with fixing (little tears in the plastic cover revealing foam). However, it was mostly clean and tidy. The food was really tasty too and not just your bog standard pub kids menu type food. Pretty healthy and accommodating of dietary requirements although there were some delicious looking cakes and milkshakes available on the counter too. I saw they offer all sorts of activities for parents and under 4s. Felt like a community atmosphere where the staff are friendly, supportive of parents and their needs as well as being passionate about their place of work. The cafe is a real asset to Lichfield, we travelled from Stafford because there’s nothing like it for under 4s (my niece is a petite 18mth old), I think they should be a chain or franchise, Newcastle under Lyme or Stoke on Trent could really do with a place similar. The staff really deserve all the credit, they made this a very enjoyable and safe activity,...

I have only ever heard good things about the little green frog cafe so I thought I would give it a try. When we first went in I was surprised at how small the actual soft play area is. When we went in to play, it was extremely dirty and looked like it hadn’t had a deep clean for a very long time. There were several staff in the kitchen area which you can quite clearly see, as I looked up one young of was sitting on the side, which I don’t think is very hygienic where preparing food. He was sneakily vaping! When he noticed I had seen him doing it he quickly put the vape down. The general cleanliness of the place, high chairs, floors and toilets is disgusting. The chairs and tables are white plastic, the legs on them are filthy, they would just need a quick wipe down but this quite clearly hasn’t been done in a long time! There was no toilet roll in the toilet and someone before me had used blue roll which blocked the toilet and smelt like it had been like that for a while. I will definitely not be returning and I am VERY shocked that this is such a popular...

Me and my family have been going to the little green fog cafe every Saturday for a long time, it is great space for all the kids and easy for us to sit down catch up and have a coffee. However, they have recently changed their booking system making it really difficult to book, they now require a deposit from all people including babies. As a big group this means we’re paying over £25 for a non-refundable deposit to sit in a small cafe.

On our last visit we didn’t add on the 3 babies (all only 6-9 months) as they sit on our laps and do not require their own chair. The staff approached this in a very rude & blunt way showing their age, we also overheard them talking about us which is so unprofessional making us feel uncomfortable and awkward. The atmosphere in there isn’t the same anymore. I think staff need to look at getting customer service training, especially the young girls.

I also paid £16 for 2 small coffee’s and two slices of cake which is so overpriced for what it is!

Will definitely be looking for...
