Italian · St Pauls
Franco Manca near St. Paul's Cathedral is a relaxed sourdough pizza spot that tends to look smaller from the outside than it actually is — handy when you're herding a hungry family in off the street. The pizzas are simple, quality and reasonably priced, there's a kids' menu, and staff are noted for being warm and helpful even when the place is busy. Buggies can be brought in without fuss, highchairs are generally available on request, and vegan options are on the menu — though there's no baby-changing on site, worth knowing before you head 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.
