Steak house · Nottingham
A relaxed steak dinner with children in tow is genuinely doable here — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and free parking take the stress out before you sit down, and the team are the sort who move you without fuss if your table's in a draught. The beef is what people come back for, tender and properly cooked, alongside peri peri chicken with real heat in the spicier options and burgers. Portions are generous, the kids' meals go down well, and nobody rushes you — one family were the last ones in before closing and still weren't hurried. Halal, with no alcohol served but plenty of soft drinks, and clean prayer facilities. Not everything lands: the chips can taste bought-in, and the lamb has disappointed. Worth the ££ for the steak.
