Brunch spot in Bermondsey.
Turkish · Bermondsey
Ev is a warm, atmospheric Turkish restaurant tucked into the railway arches near Southwark station, with a cosy vibe, generous portions and a well-chosen menu that keeps things feeling genuine rather than touristy. It's a solid pick for families — highchairs and a kids' menu are on hand, the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, and there's some outdoor space if you need a bit of fresh air. Vegan options are available too, and staff are noted for being genuinely helpful and friendly, which always makes a meal out with little ones that bit easier.

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.
