Bars · London
The Trinity Arms is a cosy local pub tucked onto a quiet London square, with front and back terraces that are handy when you've got little ones who need a bit of room to wriggle. The refurbished original details give it real character, and with a solid 4.4 rating from over 1,500 reviews, it's the kind of relaxed spot where you can settle in over a drink without feeling rushed.

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.
