Ruby won’t touch fish unless it’s in fingers, and Felix thinks broccoli is funnier on the floor than on his fork. Sound familiar?

Before you trade your cordon bleurgh for tasteless takeaway, head to The Kitchen. At the new Saturday Kids’ Club, parents and kids (aged 10 and over) create family meals with help from Natalie Richmond and Michelin-starred chef Thierry Laborde. New mums, meanwhile, take part in gentle cookery mornings with baby (obligatory).

The Kitchen works closely with a local nursery and school, so they know what little ones want to eat.

And it’s not salmon teriyucky.
