French · Leytonstone
Provender brings authentically French cooking to Wanstead High Street — think prix fixe menus, attentive staff happy to talk you through every dish, and food that genuinely impresses on repeat visits. The indoor atmosphere is fairly low-key and unfussy, and on a sunny day the outside tables are a real bonus for families who need a bit more breathing room. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy; there's no dedicated children's menu, though vegan options are on offer and gluten-free choices are likely available — worth checking when you book.
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.
