A Plymouth institution that families have been coming back to for decades, this steakhouse manages the rare trick of feeling special without feeling stiff. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, buggy access and a few outdoor tables, and the staff are genuinely warm with children — one family booked half an hour ahead for a birthday and the team brought out a candlelit dessert and sang, entirely unprompted. The open kitchen gives restless children something to watch. Steaks are the draw, with ribeye and fillet both praised for their char, but the lamb kleftiko, Greek salad and the chef's onion ring bits get just as much love, and portions are substantial. Two honest caveats: it gets busy and noisy at peak times, and it isn't cheap. Book if you can.
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.
