Monkey Temple
Indian spot in Shepherds Bush.
Café · Shepherds Bush
Askew Cafe is a relaxed, welcoming spot on Askew Road where you can settle in for a decent toastie, a full fry-up, or whatever else takes your fancy from a solid, fairly priced menu — and the staff genuinely seem happy to have you there. It's an easy choice for families, with highchairs and a kids' menu on hand, buggy-friendly access, and a bit of outdoor space when the weather plays along. The owner is notably responsive if anything ever goes awry, which always inspires confidence when you're eating out 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.
