Steak house · Manchester

Steak places can feel like adults-only territory, but this one manages the trick of being smart without being stiff — and there are high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and outdoor seating when the weather allows. The team are the reason people come back: they know the cuts, guide you through the menu and keep checking in, which matters when you're juggling a toddler and a hot plate. The ribeye and T-bone get the loudest praise, along with the beef-dripping chips, the onion loaf and the lettuce wedge. Birthdays are handled generously. Two honest notes: it's not cheap, and the gap between starters and mains can stretch on busy nights, so bring something to occupy small hands. Book ahead, especially at weekends. One parent called the food "absolutely divine".

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.
