Berber & Q
BBQ with eclectic influences, served with wine and cocktails in casual digs under railway arches.
Japanese · Hackney
Tonkotsu East brings proper Japanese ramen to Hackney in a relaxed setting that works well for families — there's a dedicated children's menu, highchairs, and buggy-friendly access throughout. The outdoor seating is a nice bonus on warmer days, and vegan diners are well catered for too. It's a popular spot, so booking ahead is a good idea, particularly at weekends.

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.
