Restaurant · Liverpool
A cheerful lunch stop just a walk from the Albert Dock and easy to reach on public transport, which helps if you're doing the waterfront with children in tow. Buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu are all there, plus outdoor tables for warmer days and vegan options. Food tends to arrive fast and hot — a real asset when someone's patience is thinning — and the mussels, prawn starter and steak frites with unlimited fries and sauces get the most praise. The team has a reputation for going out of its way; one family watched a staff member nip to Tesco for oat milk rather than say no. Worth knowing: steak portions run small, it fills up and gets noisy at weekends and holidays, and service can slow right down when it's busy, so book ahead.
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.
