American · Kensington
Passyunk Avenue brings a slice of Philadelphia to Kensington Church Street, serving up proper American cheesesteaks, hot dogs and sandwiches in a sports bar atmosphere that's a genuine crowd-pleaser — reviewers rave about the food and the warm, welcoming staff. It's a solid choice for a family meal out, with highchairs and baby changing on hand, buggy-friendly access, and a kids' menu to keep younger ones happy; gluten-free options are also available, and there's something on the menu for vegan members of the family too. There's no outdoor space, but the lively indoor setting gives the whole thing a fun, relaxed vibe that families seem to take to easily.
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.
