Steakhouse · Whitechapel
Hawksmoor Spitalfields is a handsome, atmospheric steakhouse tucked into a converted Victorian building on Commercial Street, all warm wood, low lighting and the kind of hushed buzz that somehow feels grown-up without being unwelcoming to families. The focus is firmly on serious, quality steaks rather than a dedicated children's menu, so it suits families with older kids or adventurous eaters best — highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. It's a genuine treat-night spot rather than an everyday family dinner, but the surroundings and the quality of the food make it well worth planning around.

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.
