Italian · Herne Hill
This Herne Hill PizzaExpress turns out properly good pizza — think beautifully blistered crusts and well-balanced toppings that feel genuinely crafted rather than churned out. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, and the staff have a reputation for being attentive and welcoming, which makes a real difference when you're wrangling little ones. It's a solid choice for families: highchairs and a children's menu are both available, the restaurant is buggy-accessible, and there are vegan and gluten-free options on the menu too — though there's no baby-changing facility, so worth bearing in mind if you have a very young one in tow.

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.
