Steak house · Nottingham
Right in the middle of Nottingham, this is a proper steakhouse that turns out to be surprisingly easy with children — a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus enough space to get a pram in without a fuss. Portions are big enough that plates go back half-finished, so hungry ones share happily: ribs that fall off the bone, a mixed grill, good crisp sweet potato fries and a proper onion ring. The homemade sauces get a lot of love, and the Bakewell cheesecake is worth ordering. There are non-meat options too — the sugar tofu gets glowing mentions. Music plays and the walls are covered in music posters, which keeps the mood lively rather than hushed. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's melting down. It fills up on weekend evenings, so book if you can.
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.
