Mexican · Battersea
Cheeky Chicos on St John's Hill is a relaxed Mexican-style spot that looks a little unassuming from the outside but reveals a lovely interior once you step in — well worth ignoring first impressions. It's a solid choice for families, with highchairs, a kids' menu, baby changing, and good buggy access, plus an outdoor space when the weather plays ball. Vegan options are available too, and the shrimp tacos come highly recommended if you fancy something light while the little ones tuck in.
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.
