Seafood · Hampstead
Oliver's Fish & Chips on Haverstock Hill is the kind of neighbourhood chippy that earns genuine loyalty — some families travel an hour each way just for the fresh-to-order fish and the legendary homemade tartare sauce. It's a relaxed, unpretentious spot with a children's menu, buggy-friendly access, and outdoor space to spill out into when the weather plays ball; highchairs are generally available too, so younger ones are well catered for. There's no soft play or baby-changing on site, but gluten-free options are available, making it a solid choice for families with dietary needs alongside their fish supper.
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.
