Café · Cricklewood
Tucked inside Clitterhouse Playing Fields just off Claremont Road, Our Yard is a characterful café in a converted Victorian farm building with a genuinely warm, community feel — homemade food, a kids' menu, and a lovely outdoor space make it a natural stop before or after a run around the park. It's buggy-friendly throughout, highchairs are usually available, and there are vegan options on the menu. No dedicated soft play or baby-changing, but the relaxed family-friendly atmosphere and regular nature-themed toddler sessions make it well worth seeking out.
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.
