Food court · Liverpool
Eight kitchens under one roof means everyone gets what they want, which makes this an easy call with children — pizza, pasta, fish, Asian bowls, tacos. You order from your table by QR code and it's brought over, so nobody has to queue with a toddler on their hip. Long communal tables and low-hung lights keep it lively rather than hushed, and there's more seating upstairs (warmer in winter) plus buggy room, high chairs and a kids' menu. Toilets are clean. The brisket quesadilla and pulled pork tacos from the Mexican counter get real praise, as does the seafood carbonara. Two snags worth knowing: the entrance queue can be long, so book, and food from different outlets arrives at different times — one parent waited while their husband finished his. Weekends bring live music and a proper buzz.
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.
