The Great Northern Railway Tavern, N8
19th-century pub with a monthly cinema club, a simple menu and regular live music and DJ nights.
Restaurant · Crouch End
Cornelius brings a genuine taste of Romania to north London — think sharing plates, traditional papanași for pudding, and a menu that stretches to some really well-crafted vegan dishes alongside the classics. It's a welcoming spot for families, with highchairs and a kids' menu on hand, step-free buggy access, and an outdoor space to spill out into when the weather plays ball. There's no soft play or baby-changing room, but the relaxed, sociable atmosphere makes it a lovely choice for a proper sit-down meal 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.
