Steak house · Cambridge
Cambridge parents rate this one for the welcome as much as the steaks — staff greet children properly, check in mid-meal, and one family left with sweets handed to the kids on the way out. High chairs and a kids' menu are in place, buggy access works and there's outdoor seating for warmer days, plus halal options. Worth knowing it's tightly packed inside, with tables squeezed into every bit of floor, so a pram may need parking rather than keeping beside you. The T-bone and ribeye come out cooked to order, the lamb shank and chicken bites get repeat praise, and the mocktails and Matilda cake keep older children happy. Music can run loud in the evening, and a service charge is added automatically — go earlier with little ones and book, as it's a popular spot.
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.
