Franco Manca at Broadgate Circle serves up their trademark sourdough pizzas in a lively open setting, with outdoor seating that gives families a bit of breathing room — and the team here have a genuine reputation for being accommodating and warm. Highchairs are generally available, there's a children's menu, and the space is easy to navigate with a buggy; vegan options are on the menu too. There's no baby changing on site, so worth bearing that in mind if you've got little ones in nappies, but for a relaxed, informal pizza lunch with kids in tow it's a solid choice.
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.
