Take them to a Whacky Wharehouse you middle class *s
Probably thinks it’s too cold to go skiing.
Which is one of the reasons why we don't let kids in our pub. Dogs either for similar reasons.
Upsetting professional drinkers is neither clever or helpful.
What about Irish?
You in the Irwell Valley Brewery?
Say hello to the NZ hipster with the beard and tatts and my niece.
Just popping over to pick 'em up.
They like Surlys.
You'd never guess.
🙂

You're a graphic artist / designer, you frequent this forum and go to football matches - you are middle class 😉
I’ll have you know that i’m authentic northern working class scum, despite my affectations. I used to go to the footy back in the days when £300 million was considered an acceptable transfer window spend! 😉
You coming in for a pint Rusty? It’s safe. Tabatha and Ollie have gone. Thank Christ!
Are the lights on outside the pub. ?
Absolutely disgusting behaviour.
I ask you, white wine, of all the drinks.

😆
White Whine more like.

It's the rules. That or a fruit based drink.
Well, if you will drink in a pub with a flat roof...
Flashy... this is as far from a flat roofed pub as [url= http://www.irwellworksbrewery.co.uk ]You can get[/url]
We’re not animals
Just met Rusty and we’ve stressed our real working class credentials by me having a rather nice Argentine Malbec and Rusty using a debit card at the bar 🙂
They're all seemingly called Jack and Molly round here.
In their after school crèche until 8pm. Little shits.
Rusty using a debit card at the bar
Pfft. The Piccadilly Tap takes cards.
Do they not just direct you to the northern quarter to go full contactless with a chip in one of your full sleeve tattoos?
We’re not animals
Isn't Northern the same thing basically?
Drinking wine in a brewery tap. Middle class trait #358.

We did once. One the other customers twin daughters, dressed in matching pink outfits, saw fit to wind up one of our lads for about 15 mins on the climbing doofer thing. So he punched one of them.
It's the only time I have ever been banned from a pub. 😳

The art work on their site looks familiar 😀

Flora and Fauna, Harry and George round here in term time, nearly as bad as Southwold, they read the Times and Telegraph and BOOM at each other (and everyone else) about trivia (themselves). I slip an MP3 player in my pocket these days to reduce the chance of doing bird for very bad murder that foxes would be envious of.
studiously ignoring little ****ing Tabatha and Ollie
Parents come to regret giving their kids whimsical names when its time to shout at them while they're having a tantrum in the supermarket. They're not being studiously ignored - from one parent its mortified embarrassment from the other its lip-biting incase theres another publics scene about who's stupid idea the kids names were anyway.
^^ A friend was in a Bristol supermarket queue and a snotty brat was demanding sweets and getting nowhere. Eventually, the kid announced 'if you tell me off once more I'm telling granma I saw you kissing daddy's w****.' The mother left the shopping and the kid and walked out of the shop.
Got a couple of friends like this. We no longer go out with them, because they seem to think it’s everyone else’s job to look after their kids - especially when out for a meal and it seems to an opportunity for them to drink and for everyone else to look after their offspring.
Pubs are not for enjoying oneself. They are for the very serious business of drinking.

So important I said it twice.
I thought I was seeing double.

Have you tried discipline?
We take our kids in with us from time to time. The moment they make a noise above whisper, they're in the car. Consequently, they know how to talk quietly and respect others.
It's amazing what old-fashioned parenting can instil.
Have you tried discipline?
Very much this.

That is priceless.

How did the kid pay?
saxon rider you are me, AICMFP!
"Pub Rules". The boys know what's expected of them or theyre back in the freezing cold landy. Well behaved children, dogs and Irish are always welcome in our local.
I suspect the kids aren't binners and it's still (annoyingly) considered poor form to discipline others.....
Why take children to pubs in the first place...?
Funny but whenever I've been in a pub where dogs are allowed I've never had any issues or worries, never a problem.
Pubs with kids in get no business from me.
Pubs with kids allowed are basically a restaurant with a bar attached, the emphasis is almost always on the food:
There are some, my regular being an example, where the landlord has managed to create an atmosphere where the eating is no more important than the drinking, but does a very good trade in food, while not alienating those who just want a drink, and children, while allowed for meals, are not allowed near the bar.
Certainly I’ve not seen kids there, but then, I’m never there much before 9.30-10.00pm.
+1 if you wind up in one of these hell holes, you’ve only got yourself to blame.Pubs with kids allowed are basically a restaurant with a bar attached
Why take children to pubs in the first place...?
Because pubs are part of life. We go rambling with the kids, and after 5 miles, it's normally time for a drink. So we end up stopping at some nice country pub, where Mrs SR and I get a pint, while the kids get J20 or a coke or something.
Consequently, they get a life lesson in staying active, as well as learning that some genteel pleasure can also be enjoyed alongside the activity.
And if they fail to respect that, then they lose.
Result? Future active citizens and pub users, while not annoying current patrons in the present. It's a win-win all around.

really?
i reckon your more this
Why take children to pubs in the first place...?
Because they enjoy it? Mine does anyway, and as SaconRider and Stoner have already highlighted, it's easy enough to get them to behave if you can be bothered to be a vaguely competent parent.
Why do you go to the pub?
My word, those videos.....
😀
Top work mickmcd, had me lolling.

I'm dying to know what the rest of it is...
I've taken my kids to pubs to have something to eat, it's fun to go for a meal out - especially if as I've done a few times the pub has a campsite and we're camping at the pub (usually can't be bothered doing cooking when I take kids camping).
I'm dying to know what the rest of it is...
I’m keeping you waiting!
I meant to say, why do people take their children to pubs and then fail to supervise or ensure they can be kept entertained by the parents themselves. Like you and many others we’ve used them for a refreshment stop or for a meal on many occasions and it’s enjoyable.
We only take our kids to pubs that look, or are overtly, child friendly. If I'm not with them I avoid those kind of pubs. No one likes other people's noisy kids. Except landlords who make a packet out of families.
Why take children to pubs in the first place...?
If it's a sunny day the beer gardens fine, pub/ restaurant for food fine, charly chalk type thing fine. In the bar of a drinking pub absolutely not fine. Thats a place for adults to get away from kids and enjoy the company of adults. As the Daily mash once said " A pub with kids in it isn't a pub its a hell hole "
Another Mash article that nails it.

I don't understand why you don't understand that I don't like going to pubs with kids in.
Don't get upset petal, if your'e in 'the pub' with your kids then I won't be.
(unless theyr'e really good & stay under the table or lay by the fire like our dogs did)

In which case that's because they're inconsiderate idiots.
I don’t really care that you don’t like pubs with kids in
I just hope I don’t end up with the same mindset
Fair enough I would have thought

Whilst I don't condone children misbehaving in the pub the above scenario has one group talking and socialising whilst in the corner some loner sits there with his headphones in. I know who I'd rather populated my local.
Mickmcd Love those two video's 😀

I take mine in and sit her next to me at the bar, where she'll probably contribute more to the adult conversation than the usual old soaks reading the Mail and whinging that we're not getting blue passports fast enough.
Why take children to pubs in the first place...?
Because it’s really funny when you get them drunk...
Mickmcd..pure class ! 😆
Some kids cannot be controlled no matter how good a parent you are. And given that kids are part of the family (and can't be left at the door on a lead), not an accessory, then yes they will be going to pub lunches with the folks. At least they're not sitting on the seats with shitty arses or spreading dog hairs around a dining establishment...
OP, just go to another pub.
Mickmcd - also Loving the vids..... :-]
Those videos are class 😆
Back in the good old days we all knew our places- no kids or women in the pub.
Every car journey of over 2 hours seemed to involve a pub break for my father to head in for a beer or two. Mum and the kids waited patiently in the car, dad bought out soft drinks for the kids and an ouzo for my mother, and then headed back inside for half an hour or so.
Gave us a chance to have the car doors open for a while to clear the cigarette smoke out and my mother to empty the ashtray...
