Brunch · St Johns Wood
Drunch Regent's Park is a lovely spot for a family brunch, with lush greenery throughout giving it a warm, homey feel without being cramped — just the kind of relaxed atmosphere that makes eating out with little ones far less stressful. The food is genuinely good; think crowd-pleasing dishes like chicken milanese and meatballs, and there's a kids' menu plus highchairs for smaller diners, with vegan and halal options available too. There's outdoor space for when the kids need a bit of room, and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, though it's worth knowing there's no baby-changing facility on site.
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.
