Pub · Liverpool
Tucked on the edge of the city centre on Tithebarn Street, this one comes as a surprise — light, airy and recently done up, with new fittings, fresh paint and a few genuinely comfy chairs by the fireplace where a pram fits without anyone having to shuffle past. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and level access in, and the layout is roomy enough that big groups have hosted fifty-odd guests here without it feeling crushed. Staff are quick behind the bar and unfailingly patient, and the toilets get called spotless — not nothing when you're changing a nappy. The Guinness has a real following, the ale range is good, and buffet food for functions comes cheap and generous. Worth knowing it leans grown-up: quiz nights, live music and Sunday open mic mean weekend evenings get lively, so lunchtimes suit little ones better.
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.
