Old Nick
Traditional pub with wooden flooring, gilded glass panels and an island bar, serving Dorset ales.
Burger · Bloomsbury
Burger & Lobster in Bloomsbury keeps things refreshingly simple — you're choosing between a burger or lobster, and both are done well in a buzzy, unfussy setting. It's not set up as a particularly family-friendly destination, with no highchairs or baby-changing facilities, though buggies can be accommodated without a fuss. Worth bearing in mind for older children or a more grown-up family meal rather than one with little ones in tow.

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.
