"A glorious sister venue to London's Natural History Museum (both designed by Liverpool-born architect Alfred Waterhouse), it's worth a visit to the University of Liverpool's gallery and museum for its exterior alone. The Grade II-listed building's gothic terracotta design led to the coining of the term "red-brick" university and is a shining example of Victorian prowess; more so now after a recent £8.6m refurb.

The kids menu has some nice healthier options too, such as chicken salad, tomato and broccoli pasta and fresh fruit."

"Exchange Square Manchester, Manchester, Greater Manchester, M4 2BS. Gloriously kitsch, Hard Rock’s impressive rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia and menu of indulgent American-style comfort food continues to pull in the crowds all these years later. It is great for a family meal out too."
