Italian · Shepherds Bush
Bocconi is a cosy Italian spot on Goldhawk Road where the food is fresh and the staff are genuinely friendly — worth knowing if you're heading to the O2 Academy across the road and want a relaxed early dinner first. It's comfortably family-friendly, with highchairs available and buggy access that makes getting through the door straightforward; there's a kids' menu too, though bear in mind there's no baby-changing on site. It can fill up quickly after around six in the evening, so arriving on the earlier side works well with little ones in tow.
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.
Calm, brunch-focused coffee shop on Goldhawk Road — buggy-friendly with highchairs and good vegan options.
