Breakfast · Liverpool
Brunch here is a proper event, so come hungry — portions are famously huge, and more than one family has left clutching a takeaway box and a fresh pot of syrup for the waffles they couldn't finish. It's a busy, buzzy spot with lovely decor, and worth booking if you'd rather not queue with restless children in tow; those who plan ahead walk straight to a table. Buggies get in fine, high chairs and a kids' menu are sorted, and there's outdoor seating plus vegan options. Food tends to arrive fast and hot, which matters when someone's patience is running thin, and the staff are unhurried and attentive without hovering. The pancakes, eggs Benedict and the waffles get the loudest praise, coffee is genuinely good, and milkshakes will win over anyone under ten.
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.
