Delivering since

2023

Local families

Now delivering across N8

Crouch End has long been north London's unofficial capital of young family life - a proper town centre around the clock tower, an unreasonable density of good cafes, and Priory Park's paddling pool five minutes from the Broadway. V&Me now delivers here daily, with meals cooked fresh each morning in our Battersea kitchen and on Crouch End doorsteps before 10am.

Local favourites

Three cafes for parents with babies

The spots we hear parents come back to, week after week.

Kids n'Joy Cafe

9 Park Rd, London N8 8TE

A family play cafe in the heart of Crouch End with pram parking, child-sized tables, toys and books everywhere, and good smoothies for the grown-ups.

The Haberdashery

22 Middle Ln, London N8 8PL

A Crouch End institution for breakfast and brunch, with a proper chef in the kitchen, a pretty room and free hot drinks with food before 11am on weekdays.

MERRO

85 Crouch End Hill, London N8 8DD

A characterful cafe inside the old Crouch End railway station ticket hall - excellent coffee, gelato in summer, and staff happy to keep little water glasses topped up.

Fresh air

Three parks for a walk with the buggy

Because sometimes the best thing you can do all day is get outside.

Priory Park

The family heart of Crouch End: paddling pool in summer, sandpit, zip wire, a cafe and toilets right by the playground, and the lovely dog-free Philosophers' Garden for picnics.

Stationers Park

A hillside park tucked behind Crouch End with an impressive adventure playground at one end, a small cafe at the other and a real weekday-morning community of parents and toddlers.

Parkland Walk

The old railway line turned nature trail running from Finsbury Park up towards Alexandra Palace - flat, green and traffic-free, which makes it a brilliant buggy route.

Hear from local parents

“Amazing food and excellent service. My little one always enjoys the seasonal menus and we would recommend V&Me to any family.”
