Brunch · Woolwich
First Choice Cafe and Restaurant on Hare Street in Woolwich is a bustling, no-frills local cafe that does generous portions at prices that won't leave parents wincing — always a bonus with hungry little ones in tow. The menu is broad enough to keep everyone happy, the staff are genuinely friendly, and highchairs are available for younger children, with the layout making it easy to manoeuvre a buggy through the door. It can get lively and service may feel a touch hectic at peak times, but the relaxed atmosphere and good-value food make it a solid family-friendly option for a fuss-free bite in SE18.

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.
