Lusitania brings a taste of Portuguese cooking to Vauxhall's well-known stretch of Lusophone restaurants on Wandsworth Road, making it a solid choice if you fancy something a little different from the usual family outing. The restaurant is pushchair-friendly and offers a kids' menu alongside vegan options for grown-ups, and there's outdoor space which always helps when little ones need a breather. Highchairs are generally available, though it's worth calling ahead to confirm, and there's no baby-changing on site so plan accordingly.

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.
