Restaurant · Liverpool
Built inside an old bank, and it still feels like one — high ceilings, original decor, and enough space that you're not squeezing a pram past anyone's chair. Plenty of seating on both floors, with big banquettes that suit a family spreading out. Food comes fast even when it's heaving: one family needing to eat and run had theirs on the table in fifteen minutes. Portions are generous for the money — roast dinners piled high, well-liked fish and chips with proper mushy peas, a full English, and a Caesar salad regulars swear by. There's a kids' menu and high chairs. Worth knowing: live music runs most evenings from around 5pm and it gets genuinely loud, so lunchtime is the calmer bet. Tables aren't always cleared quickly at busy times.
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.
Roomy city-centre spot with warm table service, a kids' menu and buggy access — the Tuesday tapas deal is good value.
Mid-priced Liverpool spot with a kids' menu, high chairs, step-free buggy access and gluten-free choices.
Big, properly cooked steaks and affordable family dinners in a buzzy American-style room — loud at night, calmer if you go early.
