Now delivering across N1 and N5

Islington runs on its high streets - Upper Street, Essex Road, the antiques lanes of Camden Passage - and behind them sits a dense, sociable community of young families with some of north London's best small parks and play cafes within walking distance. V&Me delivers across Islington daily: meals cooked fresh each morning in our Battersea kitchen, on your doorstep before 10am.

Local favourites

Three cafes for parents with babies

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

Mome London

408-410 St John St, London EC1V 4NJ

A dedicated play cafe near Angel with a well-equipped play area, a calming sensory room downstairs and healthy food for little ones - air-conditioned salvation on hot or rainy days.

Cooks & Books

200A New N Rd, London N1 7BJ

A warm, unpretentious local with east-Mediterranean-influenced breakfasts, a lovely back courtyard and staff who remember your order.

The Mokapot House

58 Essex Rd, London N1 8LR

A beautiful Essex Road cafe with a serious kitchen downstairs, an excellent salad and bakery counter and one of the prettiest rooms in the neighbourhood.

Fresh air

Three parks for a walk with the buggy

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

Highbury Fields

Islington's biggest green space, with wide lawns, tree-lined paths and a large, well-loved playground plus paddling pool at the Highbury Pool end.

Barnard Park

Recently renovated off Copenhagen Street, with a spacious kids' play area, big lawns, a coffee kiosk and plenty of benches - a proper local workhorse of a park.

Caledonian Park

Home to the historic clock tower, with woodland walks, a nature pond, playground, outdoor gym and a friendly cafe. Feels bigger than it is.

Hear from local parents

“Tasty, fresh and healthy food for my baby, and it saves me hours which I now spend with her instead. Customer service is great too - I highly recommend V&Me.”
