Café · New Southgate
Tucked inside Sunshine Garden Centre, Sol-e-Mio is a genuinely warm little café where the staff clearly enjoy having families around — regulars with toddlers and babies visit regularly and feel right at home. The food is tasty and varied, the cakes get a big thumbs-up, and highchairs are on hand for little ones; the centre setting means there's outdoor space to stretch legs too, and you won't have any bother getting a buggy through the door. There's no baby-changing on site, so worth bearing in mind if you're out with a very young baby.
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.
