A Toca Restaurant
Warm, unpretentious Portuguese cooking with highchairs and easy buggy access near Clapham.
Café · Nine Elms
Max Cafe is a longstanding family-run café on Wandsworth Road with a proper old-school London caff feel — formica tabletops, tiled walls, high ceilings, and staff who genuinely take pride in feeding you well. The kitchen is refreshingly flexible, happy to work around what you actually want rather than boxing you in, and portions are generous and made with care, which goes a long way when you're eating out with children. It's buggy-friendly and has a kids' menu and highchairs available, so the practical side is covered, though there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing on site.

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.
