Restaurant spot in Clapton.
Café · Clapton
A much-loved Lower Clapton breakfast spot serving up proper full Englishes at genuinely good value, with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to settle in with little ones. Highchairs and a kids' menu are on hand, the café is buggy-accessible, and there's some outdoor space if you need a bit of fresh air — worth knowing it's a compact place with limited tables, so you may want to arrive early or be prepared for a short wait. Vegan options are available too, which is handy if your family has mixed tastes.

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.
