Italian · Battersea
This Battersea PizzaExpress on Lavender Hill turns out reliably good pizzas and pasta in a relaxed setting where families clearly feel at home — regulars mention returning pretty much every week, which says a lot. The staff get a lot of praise for being genuinely warm with little ones, and highchairs are on hand along with a kids' menu; the dough-ball favourites and classic pizzas go down well with all ages. There's no outdoor seating or soft play, but the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, and both vegan and gluten-free options are available on the menu.
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.
