Chinese · Walthamstow
Thainese on Hoe Street serves up a warm mash-up of Thai and Chinese comfort food — think orange sesame chicken, dumplings, and chow mein — that genuinely seems to please the whole table, kids included. One dad who visited with his three children noted great variety, good value, and food that kept everyone happy, and the menu includes a kids' option alongside all the grown-up choices. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to get into with a buggy, though there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing on site. The meat is prepared to halal standards, which is worth knowing if that matters to your family.
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.
