Irish pub · Sheffield
A proper old-school Irish boozer that's kept its warmth — cosy, dog-friendly and run with obvious pride, with outdoor seating and buggy access if you're arriving with a pram in tow. The staff get a lot of praise for being welcoming and quick even when it's heaving, which matters when small people are hungry. Food punches well above the price: the spice bag gets raved about, so do the chips o' doom, the buffalo wings and the squid with its fiery sauce, and there's a wall of crisps from around the world (Tayto included) for easy snacks. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all there. It's a drinkers' pub at heart — famously good Guinness, Beamish and Murphy's — so expect it lively and loud on a busy night; earlier is calmer with children.
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.
Fast all-you-can-eat sushi with robot servers that fascinate children, tablet ordering and a kids' menu — pricey, and drinks cost extra.

Generous Malaysian plates — sambal fried rice, beef rendang — with a kids' menu, high chairs, pram access and quick, friendly service.
