Cosy, welcoming old pub in central Brighton with a kids' menu, high chairs and outdoor seating — but expect slow food at busy times.

Steak house · Brighton
A steak place in Brighton that manages to feel like somewhere you can actually bring the children — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, and tables outside if you'd rather not be inside with a restless toddler. The steaks are the reason to come: the ribeye gets singled out again and again as properly cooked, and the steak pasta has fans of its own. Service is quick and attentive, which matters enormously when someone at your table is losing patience; the team are good at reading a room and getting food out. It's £££, so this is a treat rather than a Tuesday, though several families note the portions justify it. Sunday evenings come recommended. Worth booking, as it's a small, popular spot and weekends fill up.

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.
