Restaurant · Lewisham
Sam's Rooster on Hither Green Lane is a neighbourhood favourite dishing up fried chicken, pizzas and kebabs with generous portions and a relaxed counter-service vibe — the tandoori chicken pizza in particular gets a lot of love from regulars who keep coming back for that spicy kick. Staff are known for being welcoming with little ones, and the space is easy to navigate with a buggy; highchairs are available too, so it works nicely for a fuss-free sit-down with younger children. There's a kids' menu to keep things straightforward, and the fried chicken and pizza combo seems to be the go-to order for families.
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.
