Finding a family friendly lunch spot these days is proving tricky. If it doesn’t have a soft space for him to run around or WiFi to hook him up with an iPad (let’s not judge now.. we’ve ALL been there) then we might as well stay home and save my sanity. But when I heard Liverpool’s favourite ‘tea-bar’ brand, Leaf were opening up on the Wirral, I was counting down the days to my first brew over there. Let me tell you about our family friendly lunch at Leaf, West Kirby, over the years.
Where is Leaf, West Kirby?
Expanding on their three branches in Manchester and Liverpool, Leaf have taken over an infamous space in Wirral’s north westerly seaside town, West Kirby. In my adult years alone I can think of 4 ownerships it’s been under, most recently that of TV chef Simon Rimmer. So hopefully Leaf can sprinkle the magic this unit so rightly deserves.
A social space, perfect for families and new mums
With ample parking, and a new wheelchair and pram friendly entrance, you can see how Leaf is a hub for maternity leave mums. And that’s before I’ve even mentioned the vast variety of decaf teas or comfier seating areas on offer.

How is Leaf family friendly?
We’ve visited Leaf on many occasions, with our son from the age of 12 months (when this post was first published) to present day (age 5), and it’s suited him at every age!
Within the restaurant there is ‘fenced’ off area with comfy bean bags, books for all ages and wooden puzzle toys- at age 15 months he was in his element! And if it couldn’t get any better, the familiar theme tune of Peppa Pig erupting from the cinema room made all of his Christmas’s come at once.
For slightly older children they offer great colouring / activity packs which have kept him busy many a time!
Sunny Summer fun
In the Summer months you can’t beat there outdoor play area!
There’s a pirate ship sand pit adjacent to the outdoor eating area, allowing you to eat and drink whilst keeping them safe at play.
To coincide with local events, such as the Golf Open in 2023, Leaf West Kirby have additional family friendly events and activities. At age 4 and a half the garden games and visor making were a huge hit and our time was much longer than your usual restaurant visit!
What’s the menu like at Leaf, West Kirby
Over the years I think I’ve tried everything!
From the Red Pepper and Tomato soup with fries, to the hummus sharer and their famous Sunday Roast, it’s all delicious! The kids menu is great too with excellent portion sizes.
