64 Old Compton Street
Italian spot in Soho.
Seafood · Soho
Poppies brings proper 1950s chippy charm to the heart of Soho, with tiled walls, retro signage and the kind of battered haddock and fluffy chips that keep locals coming back. It's a lively spot — expect a buzzy Friday-night atmosphere — but the buggy-friendly layout and a kids' menu (including cod bites and a tot's meal deal) make it genuinely workable for families, and highchairs are generally available on request. There's no outdoor seating or baby-changing, so worth bearing in mind if you've got very little ones in tow.

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.
