‘I don’t come here to enjoy other people’s children!’ Should pubs and restaurants be kid-free zones?
Children were once banned from most British pubs. Some owners and customers miss ‘the good old days’ – but can they really turn back the clock?
I went to a low league football game the other week and had a few pints in their club house after which had a proper “social club” vibe, kids running about, etc. Actually felt it was a nice atmosphere. If you want a quiet glass of wine, bugger off to the wine bars, that’s not what pubs are about.
The choice should be that of the pub landlord. I think there is a market for both “old man pubs” and family style bars/pubs/restaurants.
I don’t think that this is an issue that needs enforcement one way or the other.
Yeah, fair play, I’m all about freedom for the guv/brewery that runs the place.
