Restaurant · Bangor, County Down
A steak-and-roast sort of place that happens to work well with children in tow — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu, and free parking right there, which takes the stress out of arriving. The room is roomy and handsome, and crucially the music sits at a sensible volume, so it's calm rather than clattering; one parent describes the atmosphere as calm and relaxing even on a busy family evening. Steaks come cooked exactly as asked, the Sunday roasts have a following, and the mac and cheese side is big enough for two to share. Portions generally are generous — one family found the children's plates so large they went home with two takeaway boxes. Service is warm and attentive, though mains can be slow to arrive, so bring something to occupy small hands. Midweek two-course deals make it decent value.
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.
