Steak house · Liverpool
A Liverpool steakhouse that turns out to be far easier with children than its reputation suggests — free parking, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu take most of the stress out of arriving. The log-cabin section is the one to ask for: a lit fireplace in winter, genuinely cosy and warm. Don't be put off if online booking only leaves outdoor seating either — the cabin outside runs heat lamps and a gas fire and stays toasty. Steaks are the draw, cooked properly and generously sized; the mac and cheese topped with belly pork gets talked about, and the lava stone steak is worth ordering if a bit of smoke at the table won't bother anyone. Staff are attentive and check back through the meal. It's not cheap, and Saturday nights book out well ahead.
