Children in pubs - Some pubs really are not that family friendly. I was due to meet friends for lunch a and I had my thirteen year old child with me and to be honest, I am very disappointed by the way the bar staff at this pub treated us.

| 12-5-2008 | Believe it or not the childrens lisence does exist. Although only as en extension of the premises lisence. In most cases children are only allowed in until 9pm at the latest.
Of course sometimes the landlord just doesn't want the kids.
I agree with a lot of these comments, some people ...more | Chris |
| 25-4-2008 | Brickette, yes children are wonderful if brought up properly!
BUT the children referred to in the original gripe are the ones who are brought up believing that they are the most important members of the family and life revolves around them, in other words just plain spoilt brats!
They are the ones...more | grumpyoldwoman |
| 22-4-2008 | I just got back from my new 'local' It had been closed for 6 months and new owners re-opened it today. I popped down after training practice with my team mates and their kids, about 7pm, to see some friends and welcome the new landlord........ I barely stood one foot in the door and the land...more | Brickette |
| 13-4-2008 | Just experienced some terrible behaviour from a bar manager in London after the marathon on a Sunday afternoon. There were 14 of us with a couple and their 7 month old baby (who is still being breast feed). The manager was incredibly rude and rolled his eyes at his staff when I said it is actually l...more | runner |
| 31-3-2008 | Common-sense should prevail. Few if any customers -let alone landlords- want unruly or noisey children around. Few parents or guardians would want their children to overhear inappropriate language. A lot of this depends on the culture of the pub concerned. In the case of the UK's many country pu...more | Grant |
| 28-3-2008 | Some pubs not family friendly? It's very simple, seek out the ones that are. There are pubs and there are pubs come diner/restaurant type establishments.
Stop crying in your lemonade about it and seek a solution to your problem. | Polly |
| 28-3-2008 | You make some very good points, grumpyoldwoman (I am sure you are not BTW !) Pre kids, yes, provided the children were well behaved and it wasn't late at night ... that I do object to, kids in pubs after 7 or 8 pm at night when they should be in a bed ... I had no objection. I love kids and th...more | Nikki |
| 28-3-2008 | So Nikki, do you think that adults should not have anywhere to go where they can be in adult company with no children around?
They are not a sub-species but they are not grown up, & part of the process of growing up is learning about certain things at the right time & not being exposed to a...more | grumpyoldwoman |
| 27-3-2008 | Of course children are allowed in pubs and restaurants !! they are not some sort of sub-species, they are human beings. As long as they are with an adult, they are allowed in pubs. | Nikki |
| 27-3-2008 | My understanding of the law is that a child can enter a pub as long as they are supervised by an adult. I have similar problems and find that the bar man / woman gives all sorts of stories about not having the correct license for children. In reality there is no special license for children it's...more | Martin Waller |
| 08-3-2008 | You were treated very rudely, but I have to question why you even wanted to go to a pub? I can't stand being with kids in a pub. It is a place for adults and adult conversation. I think that the policy of 'fags out - kids in' is a bad one. As your son is 13 why didn't you take h...more | kidfree and happy |
| 12-2-2008 | Pubs are not for kids, keep them out, go eat in a restaurant if you want to eat. Adults need some place to go for a break for Christ's sake. | Norman G |
