Café · Forest Hill
Marchetti is a much-loved neighbourhood brunch spot on Stanstead Road, serving the kind of well-crafted food — think 'nduja fried eggs and a menu that changes things up — that keeps locals coming back. The bright, clean space has a relaxed feel, the staff are genuinely warm, and there's a lovely outdoor area that makes it a pleasant pick on a nice day. Highchairs are available and the café is easy to navigate with a buggy; there's no dedicated children's menu or baby-changing facilities, and vegan options are on offer.
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.
