Taking the kids to a pub - top tips
1) Beer gardens are great for children as they have more freedom. Our comprehensive listing details uk family pubs with beer gardens.
2) Take some entertainment with you. Colouring books, pencils, toys or games are a great way of keeping your child occupied whilst you enjoy that pint.
3) Pubs that serve food are more likely to cater to the family crowd. Many even have children’s menus.
4) Check with the staff until what time children are welcome as many pubs have a strict cut-off time.
5) Be sure to bring baby changing equipment with you as many pubs don’t actually have baby changing facilities in their toilets.
6) Sunday lunch attracts families, so even those less accommodating to children during the week often welcome them for a Sunday roast.
7) Pubs are often a good choice as there are normally fewer breakables within reach of an inquisitive hand and noise is rarely an issue.
8) If overnighting in a pub or inn, be sure to check whether children are permitted in public areas in the evening.
9) Some pubs have an outdoor eating area or even have family areas and make for ideal venues for catching up for a drink or some food with other families.
10) A lot of pubs have baby food warming facilities, but do call ahead just to be sure
