Anatolia Restaurant
Warm Turkish restaurant on Mare Street — speedy, welcoming service and buggy-friendly for families.
Italian · Hackney
Burnt Mill is a relaxed wood-fired pizza spot on Mare Street in Hackney, turning out seriously good Neapolitan-style pizzas with dough that's slow-fermented for days — you can taste the difference. It's a genuinely welcoming place for families, with highchairs available, buggies navigating the ground-floor space without fuss, a kids' menu, and an outdoor area that comes into its own on warmer days. Vegan options are on the menu too, and while gluten-free bases may be available it's worth checking with staff when you order.

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.
