Seafood · Soho
FishWorks is a proper seafood restaurant and fishmonger rolled into one, sitting on Marylebone High Street and doing things like beautifully fresh sea bream, oysters, and classic puddings in a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere — reviewers consistently mention how warm and attentive the staff are, which makes a real difference when you're eating out with little ones. It's a genuinely calm spot for families who fancy something a bit special, with a children's menu available and buggies welcome through the door, though there's no outdoor seating or baby-changing facilities on site, so worth bearing that in mind. The food is the main event here, and if your family loves seafood it's hard to beat.
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.
