Free State Kitchen
Liverpool diner with a lovely garden and yurts, famous wings, mac and cheese for children, and staff who are genuinely good with kids.

Pub · Liverpool
A big, buzzy Liverpool pub where the atmosphere does a lot of the work — good for a family lunch that doesn't need to be quiet, or a match on the screens with the kids in tow. Buggy access and high chairs are sorted, there's a kids' menu, and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when someone needs air. The bottomless brunch is what people come back for: Caesar chicken, decent vegan options, generous portions, and drinks topped up quickly even for big groups. Two honest snags — food waits can stretch past half an hour when the kitchen backs up, and prices feel steep for what lands (£7 for a bowl of loaded fries). Book if you're a group, and don't come starving with a toddler. One parent found it "such a bargain" for the brunch.

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.
