i preferred the old days, smoking included although it would have been nice then to have a spoons pub, minus kids of course.

[fender62]

and no im not a miserable old man, who hates kids..have my own
all grown up and left, i just dont think kids and pubs mix, people
myself included go there to get away from the noise and chaos
of them...i understand pubs have to make a living, so try and cater
to all and some sundry, when i was a lad, mu parents took us to restaurants cafe's etc and not pubs, conservative probably, respectful without doubt, speak when your spoken to, look but dont touch, please and thank you were the orfer of the day.

The only time my grandson (nearly 16) has been in a pub is when it’s been a private party eg,my 70th and our SW

Maybe. But do parents need more than 2 pints anyway ? Hardly suffering.

Plus it's a reasonable aim, to get parents to teach their kids how to behave in public. And set a good example.

[fender62]

Old_Geezer, some parents were not brought up correctly either
just carry on like there parent or parents did, liberal free for alls
little lovey is just expressing itself..yea man in it cool...

I'm a big fan of Wetherspoons, there are two in my home town and I have never had problems with either of them. The food is very tasty and I have never, ever thought that they had a 'canteen' feel to them !!

[Old_Geezer]

Not a canteen feel, but the food is clearly brought in and just heated. Consistently the naan with the curry has hard bits to it, whilst the papadum has soft chewy bits to it. But for the price it's ok.

[Old_Geezer]

Enjoyed the haggis, neeps and tatties this afternoon though; although the haggis was a bit dry.

Never had a problem with any food I've had in there. The steak and eggs is particularly yummy !

Personally I can't stand seeing kids in pubs - a pub for me is one of the last bastions of adultom (not sure adultom is even a word - but I'm sure you get my point), so I think this is a great idea.

I love a Spoon - where else can you get a half-decent burger and a pint for six quid - but I struggle with the fact that chavs use a Spoon as a surrogate babysitting service and they allow their kids to run amok.

A burger and a pint for £6, I can't for the life of me see that £6 is good value for such, or are we talking more on the plate than the burger?

[Theland]

They could give customers who have kids with them, a small leaflet outlining the policy. That would ensure, (?), the children would be well supervised.
In my opinion.

You are talking more than a burger. Comes with chips and a small salad relish. There are many pubs in London and suburbs where a pint of bitter is nearing £6. My Spoons sells a pint of Abbot for £2.10p.
