Should kids be allowed in pubs or not ?
Personally, I don't think anyone under the age of 18 should be allowed in a pub - ever, not at lunch time, or at any other time.
Today we went out at 2.00 for a meal at our local pub, the meal was great but the place was full of kids screaming and shouting while the parents did bugger all to stop it from happening. Now I know the kids cannot be blamed for doing it but the parents should have the savvy to tell them to shut up.
Before anyone says it, I'll say it 1st -I am an old fashioned, boring non pc stick in the mud, but I think kids should not be let into pubs under any circumstances
What do you think ? |

We used to take our children to pubs that catered for children with big play areas ect
Would'nt have dreamt of taking them to a pub that was mainly for adults...boring for them and then they get agitated and miserable....and so would we lol
But I agree that parents should be more responsible for their children,theres nothing worse than screaming kids running all over the place when you're trying to have a nice meal
I thought most pubs had areas that were child free?

I can understand why they do it.... introduce kids to alcohol early and they are apparently less likely to abuse it when they are older.. or so they say on the continent...
However I go to the pub for a drink and a good swear when the footballs on, so i actively avoid family pubs for that and go to my local a bit further up that doesn't let the little blighters in !!! lol |

"personally i think pubs should have how can i put it ppl like redcoats so us adults can eat in peace an get pissed lol"
lol.
I think if advertised as a "family" pub then fine - but have a section where the kids have to sit.
It is annoying to go out to eat and have to put up with the whining from other peoples kids, so maybe ONLY family pubs should allow it so that us childless peeps can have a choice. |

We always used to take our kids (now in their 20's) into pubs BUT only into "family-friendly" pubs-cum restaurants and only on the understanding that they would be on their best behaviour! If not they were banished to the car park lol!
It's the parents who should be banned - especially the ones who think their little darlings are cute when they run riot. They're NOT, they're just spoiled, runny-nosed, scummy, little mini-chavs who reflect accurately the sort of parents, family and communities they come from!!! ! Bring back corporal punishment - hanging's too good for parents who let their brats off the leash when I'm trying to drink!!!
Just don't get me going about kids on aeroplanes - it should be legal to give them general anaesthetic 2 hours prior to check in!!!
lol

In the good old days, the rooms they were allowed in could have no bar in it, and walls between the kids room and the bar. Then they changed it from Separate Room to Separate Area, meaning it can just be a line on the floor.
That's where they went wrong. |

Part of the plan in banning smoking from pubs and restaurants was to improve the facilities and make them more appealing to women and families. The pub culture has changed so much over the last 20 years that most of them now offering good food HAVE to cater for children as well as adults or pubs that don't provide for families they will see their revenue go to those that do.
The pub isn't the problem, it's the parents of the kids who don't exercise enough control over them, but then if a parent shouts at a child in public how many people would look at them and think, 'tut, bad parent', 'tsk, child abuser', etc etc ... this govt. have turned us into a nation of people afraid of each other, and if you DO ask someone to control their kids you are accused of 'denying them the liberty to express themselves' and given a smack in the mouth by some illiterate chav who knows he'd win a court case hands down. |

Kids should be in seperate family rooms only. I took a ladyfriend to a "Harvester" for the early bird deal the other week and my god it was like a creche! Kid's running amok, screaming etc. Now when I was bringing up a family (ok - lomg time ago) we respected others peoples right to a quiet meal. Ok - I'm old, very much like Victor Meldrew - just shoot me and be done with it!! |

If you take kids anywhere, you need to train them to behave. Sit the brat between two adults who will similtaniously whack them on the ear if they do anything wrong.
It is remarkable how quickly they learn if a little bit of pain is judiciously applied, but it is the parents responsibility to make the kids behave.
Parents who let their kids run riot should be banned along with the kids.
I know one restaurant which has a steel cage built into a corner near the door, it is labled "For the Incarceration of Bad Children", the proprietor gets his own kid to sit and play his computer game in for the occasional half hour to make it look used. |

There was a town centre pub that i managed for a short time that had this couple of chavs who would come in and get shit faced, letting their 2 horrible little brats run about screaming while they drank at the bar. She once got irrate with a customer for telling her to shut her fucking kids up. She replied "don't you fuckin swear in front of my kids you fuckin cunt". I decided that instead of pointing out the irony that if she wanted to take her kids to the pub, she could take them to a different one. They didn't come back. Nobody minded |

Not at all. I have a sliding scale of restaurants that I emply to seduce a woman depending on how gulli...er... easy to impress she is hehehe
** McDonalds for dopey women who would screw the back end of a bus if their pussies were large enough.
** BurgerKing for same (only if McD's was not available though - I do have standards u know)
** Pizza Express for that more upmarket Chavette who knows her Italian food - yeah right. One bottle of basic Sainsbury's Pinot Grichot and she thinks you're an international wine merchant and drops her kecks faster than speedy gonazales on amphetamine!
** Harvesters slip in about here somewhere but I'd only use it for lunchtime meals as they do an excellent all you can eat buffet for a set price which is fookin great coz if you dont like the minger that turns up to meet you you can make a right glutton of yourself, enjoy the meal, only pay a small price for it - and she'll hate you for being a filthy pig.
** For the more sophisticated woman I'd usually....... get blown out anyway.
although I have taken my gorgoues wife for an all expenses paid night at the Hilton recently. We have a lovely room with a view, chocolate strawberries and champagne waiting in our room on arrival, excellent dinner in their superb restaurant later that evening.
As I said, all expenses paid....
...By the Hilton coz they fucked up her company conference earlier in the year hehehe |

Back to the subject!
I was in a restaurant in the town centre quite recently, fairly upmarket, couples and parties having pre-theatre dinners.
Couple at a table with a dreadful child who ran around screaming without their seeming to notice. Food was put in front of them and the child poured it's onto the linen tablecloth and spread it around with his hands, no reaction from the parents. He ran around again screaming and started to run up to other diners and leave baked bean hand prints on their cloths, again no reaction.
The Maitre De gathered his staff, descended on the table like locusts, removed everything from under the parents noses including the tablecloth. After a brief protest where they established they would not have to pay, the couple and child left to a slow handclap from all the other diners.
Parents must be made responsible for their kids behaviour. |

Totally agree with last post...we had to endure endless meals at Brewers Fare etc when our kids were small. But there we trained them to sit nice and behave, and be respectfull and eat their bangers and mash or fish fingers while we ate reheated microwave kak!
BUT the upside was that from a fairly early age, we could then take them to better quality restaurants, and we all enjoyed good food, with no tantrums, or Embarrassing behaviour...except from dad lol!
As for pubs, we only ever went to pubs which sold food...would never go to pub with kids to get pissed. But I think its more a culture thing in this country....on the continent you can walk into any bar with kids and they are welcomed with open arms (providing they behave) as most of the punters are sipping a cple of beers or a wine.....not propping up the bar, and on their 17th pint!!! |

Also on the continent kids,on the whole,are better behaved and more respectful than here.It seems we've cornered the market in bratishness.
For the most part it all comes down to yobs breeding yobs.

Yobs breeding yobs and lots of them. They cant just have one or two like hard working folk. Grrrr.
The kids that are well behaved should be welcomed out into pubs and restaurants - as lets be honest - they dont get past the computer keyboard much these days....

I ran pubs for 12 years and my own kids were never allowed in them .. they were not family pubs the were drinkers pubs but people thought I was been arsey when I said no kids, but they would be the first to complain if some one was swearing or fighting in front of there kids.. ... Pubs that serve food should have a separate area for familys with kids under the age of 14 .. but again thats rare |

should be kids pubs and drinking pubs , and should be clearly advertised as such so everyone knows what they getting into . personally though i reckon everyone under 18 is a bit unfair , how many of us were in pubs by the age of 15 or 16 ? quite a few i would imagine . maybe under 14's shouldnt be allowed in as they can be a bit mischevious in their behaviour ,but then again when im having a good session last thing i want to see is wee bairns running riot around me . |
