The Cut Bar & Restaurant is a relaxed spot near the South Bank where the menu ranges from a quietly brilliant breakfast (that bacon sandwich comes highly recommended) through to flavourful mains like chicken piri piri and vegetarian arancini — there's enough variety to keep most family tastes happy, though there isn't a dedicated children's menu. Highchairs are available, the venue is easy to navigate with a buggy, there's outdoor space to spill out into, and baby-changing facilities mean younger visitors are well catered for. Service is friendly and prices are reasonable, making it a genuinely comfortable choice for a relaxed family meal in SE1.
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.
Casual choice for skewers, burgers, fried chicken & other favourites for dine in or takeaway.
