Italian · Crystal Palace
Four Hundred Rabbits is a relaxed, independently spirited pizzeria on the Crystal Palace triangle, turning out creative sourdough pizzas with seasonal toppings that change regularly — plus gelato that more than one visitor has raved about. The staff come across as genuinely warm and unhurried, which makes popping in between school runs or on a lazy afternoon feel easy, and highchairs are on hand for the littlest guests alongside a kids' menu. There's no outdoor seating, but buggies can be brought straight in, and vegan options are available on the menu too.

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.
