Brunch · Shepherds Bush
Wild Thyme is a warm, welcoming café in Shepherd's Bush where the staff go out of their way to make everyone feel at home — reviewers mention the team making a real fuss of little ones, and the owners themselves are often on hand for a chat. The food is lovely, with standout bakes like blueberry muffins alongside a menu that includes vegan options, and there's outdoor space to spill out into when the weather plays ball. Highchairs are available and the café is easy to navigate with a buggy, though there's no dedicated baby-changing facilities, so worth bearing that in mind if you've got a very young baby in tow.
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.
