Steak house · Sunderland
Steak and grill food at the cheaper end of the scale, which helps when you're feeding a table that includes small people. There's a kids' menu so children have something straightforward to order, high chairs for babies and toddlers, and gluten-free options if that's something you're working around. Step-free access means you can get a buggy in without lifting it, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when a toddler needs a change of scene. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one, so normal child noise blends in — worth booking ahead.
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.
