Italian · Bermondsey
Right on the Thames with those iconic Tower Bridge views framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, Vapiano makes a pasta or pizza lunch feel like a proper occasion without any fuss. The QR-code ordering is genuinely handy when you've got little ones to wrangle — no flagging down servers — and there's a dedicated children's menu with pizzas and pastas at £6.95, plus highchairs and good buggy access throughout the roomy, high-ceilinged space. Vegan options are available too, and there's an outdoor terrace if the kids need a bit of air after eating.
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.
