Restaurant · Maida Vale
Chicken Valley is a no-frills spot on Harrow Road in Maida Vale, turning out spicy fillet burgers and twice-fried chips at prices that won't sting a London family budget. It's very much a takeaway affair, but there's a kids' menu and the place is easy to navigate with a buggy — highchairs are likely available too, so a quick sit-down stop is doable. Grilled chicken is a highlight here, with regulars noting it stays satisfyingly juicy, making it a handy and affordable pit-stop when the little ones are hungry.

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.
