Café · Lee
Milk is a beloved Hither Green brunch spot where the cooking genuinely punches above its weight — think silky Turkish eggs, a cracking full English, and eggs Royale made with properly fresh salmon, all from an owner with a Michelin-starred background. It's a busy, welcoming little place with a loyal local crowd, friendly staff, and good coffee, so expect a lively atmosphere rather than a quiet corner. Highchairs and a kids' menu are on hand, the layout is easy to navigate with a buggy, and there's some outdoor space for when the weather plays ball.
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.
