Brunch · Lewisham
Tucked inside the green surroundings of Manor House Gardens, Pistachios in the Park is a warm, laid-back café where the menu runs from pancakes and homemade soup through to lasagne and gorgeous cakes — all at prices that won't sting. Staff are genuinely friendly, the atmosphere is relaxed enough for a wriggly toddler, and there's plenty of outdoor space to spill out into on a decent day. Highchairs are on hand and the café is easy to navigate with a buggy, though it's worth knowing there's no dedicated baby-changing facility, so come prepared.
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.
