Restaurants · East Molesey
A big, airy Italian by the river at Hampton Court, with enough space between tables that a pram isn't a problem and outdoor seating when the weather plays along. Free parking helps, though spaces can fill up — there's more nearby if the car park's full. Staff here are the reason people come back: warm, quick to check in, unfazed by toddlers, and genuinely good with allergies, talking families through gluten-free and nut-free options rather than shrugging. Portions are generous. Pizza and calzone get the loudest praise, along with sea bass, sweet potato fries and the changing specials, and there are proper mocktails if you want something beyond squash. Kids' menu, high chairs and vegan dishes are all sorted. Ask for a river-view table when you book — one family called theirs "a nice bonus".
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
