Italian · Bayswater
Pastada is a warmly regarded Italian restaurant tucked away on Moscow Road in Bayswater, the kind of neighbourhood spot that clearly does something right. It's easy to navigate with a buggy, highchairs are available for little ones, and there's outdoor seating if you fancy eating al fresco — handy when the weather plays ball. The menu includes vegan options, and it's worth booking ahead, particularly at weekends when it tends to fill up.

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.
