Brunch · Hackney
Hash E8 is a laid-back Hackney café on Dalston Lane that does breakfast and brunch really well — think full Englishes, veggie plates piled with halloumi and avocado, and vegan options on the menu too. It's a relaxed spot that's easy to navigate with a buggy, and highchairs are available for little ones, plus there's some outdoor space if the weather plays ball. There's no dedicated children's menu, but the classic breakfast fare tends to go down well with most ages.
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.
