Café · South Woodford
Fresh as a Daisy on Mulberry Way is a relaxed, welcoming café with a genuinely warm atmosphere — friendly staff, great music, and a wide menu that gives everyone plenty to get excited about, from a hearty lamb shank on mash to generous salads and vegan options. Portions are on the generous side, prices are affordable, and there's a kids' menu, so little ones aren't left staring at adult-sized dishes. Buggies can get in and out without a fuss, and highchairs are usually available, though it's worth calling ahead to confirm.
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.
