Nova Park Royal sits within the Park Royal complex and pulls off a surprisingly stylish look — think rich black-and-gold interiors that feel a world away from your average family lunch spot. On sunny days the outdoor space comes into its own, and the venue runs paid children's events including bouncy castles, ball pits and character meet-and-greets that tend to go down very well with younger ones. Practical touches are well covered too: highchairs, baby changing, buggy-friendly access and a kids' menu are all on hand, and there are vegan options for grown-ups watching what they eat.
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.
