I don’t see a problem with kids being in a pub. One of the Wetherspoons I go to before match days will have a number of families in there having breakfast before making their way down to the game which is totally fine.
In proper pubs I don’t mind it either. Don’t get me wrong it might be annoying if they’re running around screaming or whatever but if it’s a pub that has a huge garden (and maybe a play area) then I can’t really complain. I’ll either put up with it or go elsewhere. |

My dad took me and my younger brother to the pub after football games from when I was 12/13 probably, sitting at a table with his friends was fairly mind numbing but I think it served two purposes: taught us how to behave in a bar and kept him and his friends from getting smashed after the football, so I think we all kept each other in check. I think you'd call that kind of pub a gastropub nowadays but don't remember it having that kind of label back then, was just their chosen pub for chatting ****e.

My daughter is a nursery teacher in a primary school and she’s often said that some of her pupils aged around 4 yrs old routinely say phrases and swear words typical of pubs /bars .

Make. It. STOP. Get your hyperactive brats a babysitter if they’re not capable of being relatively well-behaved.

We might have Sunday lunch in the pub but the dining area is separate from the bar. I wouldn't take them into a pub otherwise. My parents never took us anywhere near a pub when we were kids either.

I remember often going to the golf club when they has acts on during the summer but we were always outside at the putting green. Otherwise never went near a pub and neither did any of my children when they were wee |
Im still getting over the fact that English people went to the pub on Christmas day - I could not believe that when I first lived in London :omgno:

Pubs are not really viable as businesses any more unless they're gastro pubs catering to families so I'm afraid your choice is either accept the kids in having their sausage and mash, or go and have a drink on your couch because the pub will have shut down. :shrug:

rules and then working practices evolve over a long time period. By working practices, i mean things like dining areas etc which develop to maximise profit for the pub and enjoyment for the customer. If you don't agree with a pubs policy on how it deals with kids, then you are not it's demographic and you should just move on because they already decided what works best for them
