South Bank eaterie with for large group inc children...?

[WindUpBird]

We're going to the Rothko exhib on Sunday at Tate Modern and I'm just trying to vaguely plan ahead somewhere suitable for lunch. There will be 9 adults and 2 children (both mine! 6 months & 2.5yrs). It's a while since I wandered along there and not since I've had children. I know there's wagamama, giraffe etc close to waterloo, just wondered what was nearer Tate Modern. What about the cafes actually in the gallery? Doh, I've just read the website which says it has a fab children-friendly caff.

Yes, I would go to the Tate Modern Cafe, has a yummy kids menu, crayons highchairs etc. Not cheap cheap but ok fo ra day out.

Have a lovely day - like your name btw

There's a Wagamama, Pizza express and the Real Greek if you go towards London Bridge too. Most of them are just the other side of The Globe theatre which is about 2 mins from Tate Modern. All of them are family friendly.

if you're desperate there's a giraffe by the south bank centre

Cafe is good, although does get crowded.

There are lots of places to eat along Bankside/South Bank proper. Pizza Express, Eat, Real Greek, several places in Gabriel's Wharf (Gourmet Pizza etc). Don't forget that Borough Market is only a few minutes away and has loads of cafes/restaurants in the area. Monmouth Coffee Co is great for a pitstop (next door to Konditor & Cook )

There's a Nandos, under one of the bridges, too, if that tempts. The cafe at the Tate Modern is theoretically kid-friendly, but I find it a bit grown-up quiet.

mmmmm, konditor and cook, yum.
thanks everyone, those are great suggestions, I might just try to book a table at the Tate Cafe if I'm not too late. The thought of 9 adults and 2 whiny children wandering from cafe to cafe trying to find somewhere to eat is giving me the heeby-jeebies!
Thanks Miyazaki, I'm guessing by your name that you got the Murakami reference!!
I'm quite excited now, I used to live in London and I miss it a lot!

Pizza Express very close by. Have seen big "parties" upstairs with great views over the Thames.

Yes! Wind up bird made my brain melt a bit tho.. I'm not sure if you can book the tate cafe, I know you can't at Giraffe/Wagamama etc. Pizza Express might be the way to go!

giraffe, food not amazing but is brill for kids

I second Giraffe - food is fine!

the pizza express is huge, good kids menu. look on line as there should be some offers on food.

this should save you a few bob
