Café · Wimbledon
Tucked inside a working city farm, Little Brioche is a nice café where the food comes with a ready-made adventure on the side — the kids can wander around and meet rabbits, ducks, pheasants, and even exotic rats before or after eating. The menu has proper tasty options, a kids' menu is available, and buggies can get around without any fuss, though do bear in mind there's no dedicated baby-changing on site. It's the sort of place where a simple lunch turns into a proper family outing, especially if the farm is running seasonal events like their Santa visits.
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.
