Steak house · Newcastle upon Tyne
A big steakhouse room in the city centre where buggy access and high chairs are sorted, and there's a kids' menu alongside the grill. What makes it work with children is the pace and the space — even when it fills up, families say it still feels like you have your own private corner, and staff are around when you need them without hovering. Portions are generous enough that nobody's clearing plates under duress, and the steaks come as your own cut with your own sauce and sides, so fussy eaters can have things left off. The burgers are worth a look too, and desserts get proper praise. Order steak at the doneness the menu suggests — people who go rarer than advised are the ones who come away disappointed. It's not cheap, but it's the sort of pricey most reckon is worth it.
