Italian · Chelsea
La Mia Mamma on the King's Road is a charming little Italian serving the kind of regional home cooking and hand-rolled fresh pasta you don't often find in London — think proper, unfussy food rather than a generic pizza chain. It's a genuinely welcoming spot for families, with highchairs available and pushchairs able to get through the door without a struggle. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the kitchen does cater for vegan diners, and the relaxed, neighbourhood feel makes it a comfortable choice for a relaxed meal out with younger ones in tow.
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.
