Café · Charlton
Tucked alongside Charlton Park, this wonderfully characterful little café has mismatched chairs, Laurel and Hardy prints on the walls, and a genuine community feel that makes families feel instantly welcome. Outside, there's seating beneath mature trees with views across the green — perfect for watching cricket while the kids tuck into something from the children's menu. Highchairs are on hand, buggies roll in without any fuss, and there are vegan options alongside the homemade soups, bacon sandwiches, and generous slabs of cake.
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.
