The Old Star
Classic Victorian pub with food and drink deals and 2 intimate arched alcoves seating 20 people.
Steakhouse · Westminster
Caxton Grill sits inside the elegant St Ermin's hotel near St James's Park, offering a calm, unhurried atmosphere that parents with children will appreciate — reviewers describe it as tranquil and genuinely welcoming. The cooking is the real draw: think lamb chops, mac and cheese and other hearty dishes that tend to go down well with the whole table, backed up by friendly, attentive staff. Highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, though there's no dedicated children's menu, so younger fussier eaters may need to pick from the main selection.

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.
