Quayside Buffet Restaurant
A busy world buffet with constantly refreshed dishes, high chairs and kids' menu — fussy eaters and curry lovers both leave happy.

Restaurant · Newcastle upon Tyne
A steakhouse that works better for a family meal out than for a rushed weeknight tea — there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and outdoor seating, but the kitchen can run slow when it's full, and Saturday nights especially have seen waits of an hour or more between courses. Come when nobody's already hungry and it's a different experience: the £85 sharing board for two is genuinely good value if you choose your sides well, the parmo is a rare find done properly here, and the bottomless brunch at around £35 gets consistent praise. Window tables are worth asking for. Prices are steakhouse prices and bills have occasionally needed querying, so cast an eye over yours. Staff tend to make amends when things slip — one couple got a decorated brownie and drinks on the house after a long wait. Book ahead.

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.
