Thai · Liverpool
Small and often packed, this Castle Street spot moves fast — the kitchen turns tables quickly, so food lands before anyone has time to unravel, and even on a busy weeknight people rarely wait long. High chairs, a kids' menu and buggy access are all sorted, and the team is genuinely patient with children; one family noted the staff couldn't have been kinder with theirs. Worth knowing it's tight on space, so a pram may need parking by the door, and it does get busy — booking ahead for dinner saves a wobble. Order carefully on heat: medium is properly hot, and the staff will check before letting you go higher. The massaman curry, pad see ew, papaya salad and steamed sea bass all get raved about, and the salt and pepper chips are an easy win with children. Halal beef and chicken, and vegan options too.
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.
