Café · Camberwell
Mary's Cafe is a proper old-school British greasy spoon on Camberwell Road — the sort of warm, family-run place that feels genuinely welcoming rather than just tolerant of little ones. Reviewers with young children have praised the attentive service and hearty fry-ups, and the cafe has a kids' menu alongside highchairs for smaller visitors; buggies can be brought in without a struggle too. There's no outdoor space or baby-changing room, but if you're after a relaxed, honest breakfast or lunch spot where the whole family can pile in and feel at home, Mary's delivers exactly that.
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.
