Nando's Shepherd's Bush
Afro-Portuguese chain for flame-grilled peri-peri chicken in African bird’s-eye chilli at different heat flavours.
Lebanese · Shepherds Bush
Tasty and More on Shepherds Bush's Uxbridge Road turns out hearty Syrian and Lebanese cooking — think generously loaded lamb mandi platters with rice, hummus and salad, and shawarma wraps stuffed well enough to keep hungry kids and adults happy. It's a practical spot for families with little ones, with highchairs on hand and enough space to bring a buggy through without a struggle; there's no outdoor seating, but the warm, no-fuss atmosphere inside more than makes up for it. There's a kids' menu to take the guesswork out of ordering, and vegan options are available if someone in your group doesn't eat meat.

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.
