Brunch · Wimbledon
Tucked away in Wimbledon, Watermill Restaurant serves up an Asian-influenced menu that's quietly won a loyal following — think loaded fries, flavourful mains, and a vanilla latte worth making the trip for. When the sun's out, the outdoor space comes into its own, and the welcoming staff are known for being genuinely accommodating, which makes a real difference when you're eating out with little ones. Highchairs and a kids' menu are on hand, and the restaurant is easy to navigate with a buggy, though there's no baby-changing or soft play.
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.
