Pub · Liverpool
A proper old-school pub feel inside — dark wood, chatty, the kind of place you can settle into for an hour — sitting under apartments a short walk from Lime Street and Matthew Street, so parking is street-side and city-centre awkward. Families get a kids' menu, high chairs and a few outdoor tables, and the staff are the real draw: friendly, quick with a replacement when something gets knocked over, and unbothered by a big group taking up space. The food punches well above pub-grub expectations — the pulled pork nachos, salt and pepper chicken and halloumi fries all get raved about, the Scouse fries and cheese garlic bread too, and the all-day breakfast is properly filling. Worth knowing it's a city-centre bar first, so it can get loud and rowdy later on; lunch and early afternoon are the calmer bet 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.
