Pub · Bermondsey
Tucked near London Bridge, Bermondsey Bierkeller is a lively German-style pub restaurant where families can settle in for hearty food in a buzzy atmosphere — there's a dedicated children's menu, and the outdoor seating is a bonus on warmer days. Buggies are welcome inside, and vegan diners are well catered for too. There's no baby-changing facility on site, so worth bearing in mind if you have little ones, and booking ahead at weekends is a sensible idea.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
