Hamburger · Liverpool
Expect to pay properly for lunch here — three meals can top £60, and plenty of families think the burgers don't quite justify it. What consistently wins people over are the milkshakes (the bacon one included), the enormous scoops of fries that spill into the bag, and the free ketchup and toppings that let you strip a burger back to something a fussy child will actually eat. Staff come across as friendly and hardworking, quick to apologise and put things right when an order goes astray. It's a simple all-American room with high chairs, a kids' menu and outdoor seats, and buggy access on the ground floor. Two snags worth knowing: waits can stretch to fifteen minutes when delivery orders pile up, and the toilets are upstairs behind a code from your receipt, which is awkward with little ones or a walking aid.
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.
