Contemporary brasserie for all-day brunch, global dishes, cocktails & champagne.
American · Kensington
Five Guys on Kensington High Street delivers exactly what it promises — generous, build-your-own burgers and proper loaded fries in a buzzy, no-frills setting that kids tend to love. The format works well for families: highchairs are available, the entrance is buggy-friendly, and there's some outdoor space if you'd rather eat in the fresh air. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the straightforward burger-and-fries concept means little ones rarely struggle to find something they'll happily demolish — and reviewers have flagged the staff as genuinely attentive, which always helps when you're wrangling a hungry family.

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.
