Best Family Restaurants in Rainford

"Fittingly on Maryland Street, just off Baltimore, the Free State Kitchen is Liverpool's primary exponent of US "dude food": hotdogs, Reuben sandwiches, buffalo wings, chilli fries and, of course, burgers. Its cheeseburger is a vastly improved doppelganger for the McDonald's classic, right down to the exceptionally light, soft but durable bun and (what tastes like a Kraft) cheese slice on top. Of course, the patty is much tastier than anything you will find on the high street: loosely packed, juicy, precisely chargrilled, it persuasively asserts its beefy flavour over the ketchup, mild mustard and onion."

"Free State Kitchen serves a contemporary twist on American classics with locally sourced produce. If you’re ever looking for some indulgent comfort food - then look no further than Free State Kitchen. There’s even take out available, all day, everyday."

"Find Free State Kitchen on Maryland Street just off Hope street and enter into their incredible garden for their beautiful American inspired menu. View this post on Instagram. A post shared by Free State Kitchen Liverpool (@fskliverpool)"

"South of the border' passion is always served up at Chiquito. A menu of bold Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine is prepared however the diner likes it."

"30/05/2021: Food was lovely and our server Kate B was even better!. She couldn’t do enough for us, nothing was to much trouble. Our table had fajitas and a burger and I would definitely recommend we can’t wait to return."

"Head to south Liverpool and take a nice brisk stroll around Allerton Tower Park!. This beautiful 35-acre park is perfect for a stroll to take your mind off studying, although it’s quiet and often overlooked, it’s a great place to wind down. The space became a public park in 1927 and has a somewhat mysterious vibe to it, it can be quite spooky too!"

"Despite becoming a park back in 1927, this stunning 35-acre estate seems to be a bit of a secret. Take a visit and you’ll find the spectacular footprint of Allerton Manor still remaining along with walled gardens, the orangery, old lodge, micro-mazes and stables. We think it’s time you shared in Allerton Towers secluded South Liverpool splendour!"

"We’re happy to give St John’s Gardens top marks for looks - after all, they’re meticulously kept, lined with a series of pretty walls and dotted with all kinds of lovely statues and flowerbeds - but the inner city location and relatively modest size mean it can seem a bit cramped (there's also something a bit wrong about cracking open a can of lager 50 feet from a dual carriageway). Still, it's great for a quick walk around."

"If you’re around the St George’s Plateau then head round the back to chill out in St John’s Gardens. The garden, which is part of the William Brown Street conservation area, has been a Green Flag site since 2003 and contains ornamental flower beds and various memorials to notable people in the city. A great spot to soak up the rays."

"While the country house at Hare Hill Hall is privately owned, the garden is cared for by the National Trust. The star here is the walled garden, a blaze of colour in early-summer when the rhododendrons and azaleas burst into flower. There are also uncommon varieties of poppy, iris, lupin, phlox and echinacea."
