Brunch · Kensington
Tucked inside the elegant Royal Garden Hotel overlooking Kensington Gardens, Origin Kensington offers a genuinely impressive dining experience that works surprisingly well for families — the food is beautifully presented and the atmosphere is calm rather than chaotic, which makes it a nice treat-night choice. Highchairs are available and there's a children's menu, plus the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, so younger ones are well catered for practically speaking. There's no outdoor seating or baby changing on site, but the serene garden views through the windows more than compensate, and vegan options are on the menu for plant-based diners in 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.
