Brunch · Richmond
Tucked inside Kew Gardens close to Kew Palace, The Orangery is a bright, airy glasshouse café that makes a natural halfway stop between the treetop walkway and the pagoda. It runs on a cafeteria-style, self-service basis with a handful of hot mains changing daily — think roast chicken, haddock in tomato sauce, and Korean-style cauliflower — alongside a salad bar and a cake counter that's hard to walk past. There's a kids' menu and highchairs are on hand, buggies move around easily, and the sunny terrace is a lovely spot for little ones to wind down while the birds do their best to join in; vegan options are available, and Kew members get 20% off the bill.

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.
