Seafood boils are the draw here, and the food genuinely delivers — Jimmy's Boil with lobster, the South African Malay prawns, Caribbean Twist sauce, and mocktails the children can order alongside. The team will crack the lobster and crab for you at the table, which saves a lot of fiddling with small hands waiting. Practically, it's set up for families: a kids' menu, high chairs, room to get a pram in, halal options, and free parking, so no circling Leicester for a space. The honest snag is the wait. Thursdays and weekend evenings get slammed, and it's not unusual to sit an hour between ordering and eating — one parent waited "over 30 mins for a table" before that. Book, come early, and bring something to occupy little ones.
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.
