Restaurant · Colwyn Bay
Worth knowing before you go: this is a treat rather than a weeknight standby, though the lunchtime deals soften it — 6oz steak, chips and a shake for around £12.99 goes a long way with a hungry child. The building is genuinely huge, with masses of room inside and out, so a pram is no drama, and there's free parking so nobody's circling the block. The cinema room for kids is the real draw, along with free popcorn on the table and TVs in some booths. Food arrives quickly and the team check back often. Smash burgers, the loaded pork bap and the jam-jar cheesecakes get the loudest praise. It gets busy at dinner and the music can be loud — regulars still say it's "well worth the money".
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.
A calm, old-fashioned tea room doing hearty breakfasts and proper roasts, with a kids' menu, high chairs and friendly staff — book ahead.
Sea-view café with quick service, high chairs, free parking and a cake counter — busy at weekends, and dog-friendly throughout.
