The Queen's Head
Small traditional pub with a regularly changing beer menu, British food and live entertainment.
French · Bloomsbury
Bench Bistro on Gray's Inn Road is a relaxed breakfast and brunch spot where generous portions and genuinely friendly service make it worth the trip — it's a short walk from King's Cross, so handy if you're passing through. The menu is broad enough to keep everyone happy, and there are highchairs and a kids' menu on hand, plus vegan options if you need them. It's buggy-accessible with a small outdoor space, and while there's no baby-changing room on site, the easy-going atmosphere means families tend to feel very comfortable 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.
