Restaurant · South Woodford
Jones & Sons on High Road in South Woodford has a genuinely lovely, relaxed atmosphere — the kind of place where a family meal actually feels special without being stiff, as one family found when they held their son's baptism lunch here and couldn't speak highly enough of the warm, attentive staff. There's a kids' menu and highchairs are on hand, the venue is easy to navigate with a buggy, baby changing is available, and there's outdoor space too — plus vegan options on the menu for anyone who needs them. It's more of a relaxed dining and brunch spot than a soft-play-style family venue, but families with younger children seem to be genuinely welcomed here.

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.
