Indian · Wimbledon
Katsushi on Merton Road serves fresh, flavourful Japanese food — reviewers can't stop raving about the dragon rolls — and the friendly, attentive service makes a real difference when you're eating out with little ones. It's a compact spot without outdoor seating or baby changing, but highchairs are available and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. Halal options are on the menu, which is handy to know, though there's no dedicated children's menu so you'll be sharing from the main selection.
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.
