Hamburger · Sheffield
Tucked inside Heist, this is a smash-burger spot where the beef gets genuine raves — juicy, cheesy, with a sauce people keep mentioning — alongside buffalo chicken, mac and cheese bites and loaded fries in several varieties (the chicken gravy and chicken kiev ones come up again and again). There's a kids' menu, high chairs and room to get a buggy in, and the wider Heist space is roomy enough that a fidgety toddler won't feel on show. Dietary needs are handled properly: halal, gluten-free and coeliac all catered for without fuss. Two honest snags — it's not cheap, with around £24 covering a burger, fries and two soft drinks, and kitchen waits can stretch to 45 minutes when takeaway orders pile up, so order before anyone hits empty. Afternoons are calm; evenings get lively.
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.
