Italian · Blackheath
Franco Manca in Blackheath does one thing brilliantly — sourdough pizza with perfectly proved dough and generous toppings, and the quality is reliably consistent every visit. The Tranquil Vale spot has a relaxed, neighbourhood feel; staff are genuinely warm and unhurried, which makes the whole experience easier when you're eating out with children. Highchairs and a kids' menu are available, the entrance is buggy-friendly, and there's an outdoor space for when the weather plays along — plus vegan options on the menu if you need them.
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.
