Restaurant · Plymouth
A proper steakhouse in the middle of Plymouth, small enough that booking really matters — several families mention waiting for a table even with a reservation, so don't just turn up hungry with tired kids. Portions are the headline: 16oz T-bones, a 40oz calf steak on a plate roughly four times normal size, and the "farm yard" platter that defeats big eaters. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and room to get a pram in, and the team are patient and quick to swap things out for particular eaters. Food arrives hot and all together, though it can be a slow wait when they're busy. Garlic mushrooms get raved about, and the oreo cheesecake is what the children remember. Steaks are occasionally sent back for doneness, so be clear how you want yours.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
