Pub · Muswell Hill
The Victoria Stakes is a warm, relaxed pub on Muswell Hill with a genuinely calm atmosphere that makes it a comfortable spot for families — reviewers mention friendly, attentive staff and solid food. There's an outdoor area that's reasonably well heated, highchairs and baby changing on site, and the place is easy to navigate with a buggy. A kids' menu is available, so little ones are well catered for alongside the grown-ups.
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.
