Restaurant · Croydon
A reliably laid-back spot on Croydon High Street, this Nando's serves up its familiar flame-grilled peri-peri chicken in a well-organised dining room where families tend to get seated without much fuss. Highchairs are on hand for little ones, there's a kids' menu to keep younger appetites happy, and the buggy-friendly layout means you won't be wrestling a pushchair through tight gaps — though do note there's no baby-changing facility on site. There's also some outdoor space if the kids fancy a bit of fresh air, and vegan options are available for any plant-based members of the family.
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.
