Italian · South Woodford
The South Woodford PizzaExpress on High Road has a relaxed, spacious feel that makes it an easy choice for a family lunch or dinner — reviewers mention plenty of seating, fast service and friendly staff who seem genuinely happy to see families walk in. The children's menu is good value (a three-course deal for around £8.50), and the restaurant has highchairs, step-free buggy access and an outdoor space, plus gluten-free and vegan options on the menu. There's no soft play, but the calm, unhurried atmosphere means little ones can settle in without any fuss.
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.
