I am looking for a restaurant where I can have dinner with friends and a baby, either around ED, South Bank, London Bridge or Victoria. Anyone have any ideas please. So far have thought of Benugos, Canteen. It's to celebrate a birthday so was trying to think of somewhere a bit more special (which won't break the bank) but don't really have any ideas...
Not really a restauant that fits your wants anyway but FYI the Plough has a no children after 7pm rule (even sleeping babies!). We used to go there fairly often to eat, and in the daytime it is child friendly, they are just not welcome in the evening.
Other good thing about locale is you can eat outside - useful if little one is asleep in the pram. This was our plan for our first evening meal out when little one was 6 months-ish. In reality I walked around for an hour trying to get him to sleep and then went home. My wife and our friends had a lovely meal sat outside though.

Hi Nikki,


I was in the Italian, Si Mangia, on Forest Hill Rd (next to ED's small Co-op)on Friday evening and although we were sans bebe ourselves, there were lots of kids and a stack of high chairs available....I don't know if it would pass muster as special enough with some folks, but we are never disappointed (husband recommends Scallops in Sambucca).

We go to Locale early evening with our brood (3 aged 8, 5 and 1), which is usually quiet with few people in at all and the staff have always been helpful in providing high chairs, colouring etc. I take the view that we should be finished and gone by the time people who have paid for baby sitters are likely to be in the restaurant - this doesn't always work out but I feel is fair approach to all.
We also use both Locale and Si Mangia as good places to go with the kids. Like Mrs TP we tend to go early (5 - 5.30ish), so the kids aren't tired and the restaurant isn't busy. Locale staff have always been brilliant with the kids and the food is nice.
Another thumbs up for locale. Having the wedding reception there with approx. 5 babies in attendance and they've been great about it! Were also fab when we went to a pretty formal dinner there when Baby Baldock was 2 weeks old and he started screaming in the middle of speeches/desert. No one batted an eyelid...

It's a bit further away, up sydenham hill near the horniman, but That's Amore on Kirkdale as the most amazing food and their own highchair. They are very baby friendly and have music on friday night (might be sat..can't remember). But food is delicious and I bring my baby there all the time.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
