Brunch · Bethnal Green
Tucked snugly beneath the railway arches near Bethnal Green station, Arches Cafe is a proper British caff serving up honest, well-priced breakfasts in a clean, welcoming atmosphere — charming staff and straightforward food make it a relaxed spot for families on the go. It's easy to get a buggy through the door, and there's a kids' menu to keep little ones happy, though it's worth noting there's no baby-changing facility on site. A genuinely unpretentious, family-friendly find in east London.
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.
