Café · Hackney
The Wick is a proper, no-fuss café on Felstead Street — spacious, clean, and serving up generous portions at decent prices, with a menu broad enough to keep everyone happy. Staff have a reputation for being genuinely friendly, and the vegetarian options get a good word from regulars. It's pushchair-friendly and has a kids' menu, with highchairs likely available if you call ahead — just bear in mind there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities on site.

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.
