The Washington
Wood-panelled Victorian pub with mirrors and an embossed red ceiling, serving seasonal British grub.
Café · Hampstead
Sable d'Or is a proper French patisserie on England's Lane in Belsize Park, where the counter groans with tarts, pastries and red velvet muffins from early morning — the kind of place that makes a weekend breakfast feel like a treat. The outdoor seating is generous and easy to settle into with a buggy, and highchairs are on hand for little ones while you work through breakfast plates loaded with free-range eggs, sourdough and merguez, or go for the avocado toast with poached eggs and chilli. There's no dedicated children's menu, though the all-day café fare and vegan options give most families plenty to choose from.

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.
