Relaxed Abbey Road café with good-value food, buggy access, highchairs and outdoor seating.
Café · Willesden
Ace Cafe London is a proper slice of British motoring history — a legendary roadside diner on the North Circular where the roar of engines, retro Americana decor, and no-nonsense comfort food make for a genuinely fun outing. The menu includes a kids' option, and the site is easy to navigate with a buggy thanks to its spacious layout and large car park with outdoor seating; highchairs are generally available, though it's worth calling ahead to confirm. Bear in mind there's no baby changing on site, but the relaxed, come-as-you-are atmosphere and vegan choices on the menu mean most families will find something to enjoy here.

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.
