Rose's Cafe
Warm neighbourhood café with a kids' menu, outdoor space and a genuinely welcoming feel.
Italian · Canning Town
Zzetta serves proper Neapolitan-style pizzas from a soul-fired oven, and the warm, cosy atmosphere at Rathbone Market makes it a genuinely relaxed spot for a family meal in Canning Town. Reviewers rave about the food enough to come back on consecutive nights, and the welcoming staff add to the easy-going feel. Highchairs and a children's menu are on hand, the space is buggy-friendly, there's some outdoor seating, and vegan pizzas are available too — no baby-changing facilities on site, so worth bearing in mind with little ones.

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.
