Bonoo Indian Tapas brings a sharing-plates twist to Indian cooking, and the food genuinely wows — think masala chips, okra fries, butter chicken and black cod korma, all arriving tapas-style so the table can graze and mix things up. It works surprisingly well for a family outing: highchairs are available, the restaurant is buggy-accessible, there's a kids' menu, and baby-changing facilities are on hand. Vegan options are on the menu, and the kitchen is likely to be able to accommodate gluten-free and halal requirements, though it's worth checking ahead.

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.
