Restaurant · Liverpool
A big Beefeater on the Premier Inn site, so it's built for people arriving with a lot of stuff — free parking outside, high chairs, a kids' menu, and enough space to get a pram or a wheelchair through without a scene. Families with toddlers in tow say the staff take it in their stride, and food generally comes out fast even when it's busy, which matters when someone's hit the wall. The ribs get the most praise — the bone-in BBQ beef short rib especially — along with the burgers, the steak flatbreads cooked to order, and puddings worth staying for. Breakfast is the real value: unlimited, with kids eating free alongside a paying adult. It's a big, buzzy room rather than a quiet one, and the toilets can slip when it's heaving.
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.
