La Trompette is a Michelin-starred restaurant on a quiet side street near Turnham Green, where the cooking is genuinely accomplished and the atmosphere strikes a nice balance between elegant and warm — smart enough to feel like a proper occasion, relaxed enough not to be stressful. The team are friendly and welcoming, and the three-course menu gives everyone a decent choice to work through. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy; there's also some outdoor space, and vegan diners are catered for — though it's worth knowing there's no dedicated children's menu, so it suits families with older or more adventurous eaters best.
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.
