Pub · Liverpool
Right in the middle of the city centre, this is the sort of stop you fall into when everyone's hungry and nobody can wait — off the train, into town, sat down and fed. Food comes out fast, which matters when a child is unravelling, and the prices are the reason most families end up here: fish and chips, a stone-baked pizza and two portions of kids' nuggets with drinks came to a little over £40 for one family. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, plus outdoor seating. Worth knowing it's not a big place and seating is limited, so it can be a scramble at busy times — upstairs has its own bar, which makes ordering easier. Quality wobbles dish to dish, but breakfast draws warm praise and one parent found it "clean, which is not something I can say about every other spoon".
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.
