Restaurants · Yarm
Set in lovely countryside outside Yarm, this is a steakhouse that families genuinely seem to manage well — free parking outside, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus outdoor seating when the weather plays along. The steaks are the draw: flat iron and mid-rare cuts arrive on a sizzling stone that keeps everything hot while you cut up someone else's dinner, and the chips get singled out repeatedly as excellent. Chicken parmo and the beef hash brown sides are popular too, and the three-course set menu at around £20 is good value on a bigger bill. Staff are described as attentive and warm — one table celebrating a birthday had dessert brought out with a chocolate message. Worth knowing: at busy times waits to be seated or have orders taken can stretch past twenty minutes, so bring something to occupy small hands.
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.
