Café · South Woodford
Cafe Royale is a warm, bustling neighbourhood café on George Lane where generous portions and genuinely friendly staff make for a relaxed meal out — reviewers consistently rave about the breakfasts and lunches, and you really do get a lot for your money. The menu is broad enough to keep everyone happy, and little ones are catered for with a kids' menu and pushchair-friendly access, with highchairs likely available if you need one. There's outdoor space too, which is handy when the weather plays ball, though it's worth knowing there's no baby changing on site.
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.
