Pizza House on Pitshanger Lane is a relaxed Mediterranean spot where the food does the talking — think flavourful vegetarian pizzas, chicken pide, and a mixed grill that comes highly recommended. The atmosphere is laid-back and the staff are friendly and clued-up on the menu, so dining with a group of children feels genuinely easy rather than stressful. It's well set up for families, with highchairs, a kids' menu, buggy-friendly access, a dedicated children's area, and a bit of outdoor space to boot — though there's no baby-changing facility on site, so worth bearing that in mind if you have very little ones.
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.
