Sweets Town & Grill on Barking Road is a warm, welcoming spot where the grills are cooked with real care — juicy, well-seasoned and genuinely fresh, with reviewers noting it has the kind of atmosphere that makes you feel at home straight away. It's a solid choice for families, with highchairs and a kids' menu on hand, and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy. There's no outdoor space or baby-changing room, but for a relaxed, flavourful meal out with little ones, it delivers the goods.

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.
