Mexican · Bermondsey
El Pastor at London Bridge is a buzzy, informal Mexican spot tucked under the railway arches on Stoney Street, serving up tacos and mezcal in a lively, no-fuss atmosphere — staff here have a genuine warmth that makes families feel welcome even on hectic evenings. Highchairs are available and the venue is easy to navigate with a buggy, plus there's outdoor space which is handy when you need a bit of breathing room with little ones; there's no dedicated children's menu, but the sharing-style plates work well for curious eaters. Vegan options are on the menu, and gluten-free choices are likely available, though it's worth checking with the team on the day.
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.
