Steak house · Manchester
There's a real sense of occasion to this place — high ceilings, pillars, a polished dining room that makes an ordinary Sunday feel like an event. That grandeur is also its trade-off with children: it's elegant rather than casual, so it suits a birthday or a celebratory lunch more than a scrappy weekday tea. Practically, you're covered — kids' menu, high chairs, and buggy access through the door. Families rate the Sunday sharing roast (sirloin, half chicken and pork belly on a board, with unlimited gravy), the burger with thick-cut chips, and surprisingly good vegetarian options like the shepherd's pie. Service tends to be warm and attentive, with staff happy to mark a birthday. Worth knowing: at roughly £30 a head for the roast it's a treat rather than a habit, and set menus are much better value.
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.
