Blacklock City is a atmospheric chophouse tucked into the City of London, best known for its show-stopping Sunday roast that has families travelling from across the capital — and apparently across the Atlantic — just to get a table. The menu is built around quality chops and that legendary all-in roast, so it suits older children and adventurous young eaters best; highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, which is handy given the busy City streets outside. The team are warm and attentive, and while it's not a bells-and-whistles family venue, it's the sort of place where a relaxed Sunday lunch with the family genuinely becomes a memory.
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.
