Vegetarian · Nine Elms
Bonnington Cafe is a wonderfully cosy, community-rooted spot in Vauxhall where the home-style veggie and vegan cooking genuinely feels made with care — generous portions at reasonable prices, and much of the menu is fully vegan. It's a relaxed, welcoming place that suits families well enough for a casual meal, with highchairs available and a buggy-friendly setup, though there's no dedicated kids' menu or baby-changing facilities on site. A lovely choice if you're after something wholesome and a little different from the usual family-friendly chain.
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.
