Steak house · Newcastle upon Tyne
A steakhouse dinner with children in tow sounds ambitious, but this one makes it workable — a kids' menu, high chairs, and outdoor seating for warmer days, plus a team that's genuinely happy to walk you through the menu rather than leaving you to guess. That patience matters when you're ordering for a table of different appetites, and the food comes out quickly once you have. Steaks are the reason to come and they arrive properly cooked, with a spread of potatoes, tomato and onions alongside; the burrata and calamari starters get warm mentions, and puddings are a real event — the banoffee pie, profiteroles and chocolate brownie all have their fans. It's a sit-down, occasion sort of meal rather than a quick bite, so book ahead, and expect the odd side dish to underwhelm next to the steak.
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.
