Two-drink limit at Wetherspoon's for parents of rowdy children The pub chain JD Wetherspoon has insisted families are welcome but on the premises despite advising staff to make them agree a limit of two alcoholic drinks per person for parents with children in town.
The two-drink limit came to light after a member of staff at a Wetherspoon's pub in Gravesend,Kent,put up a poster detailing its policy.
"As part of our licensing it is our responsibility to ensure that we are protecting children from harm," read the poster at The Robert Pocock pub.
"Therefore adults in charge of children will be allowed to have one alcoholic drink and a further alcoholic drink with a sit-down meal."
It is a crime for anybody in charge of a child under the age of seven to be drunk in a public place under the 1902 Licensing Act.A person convicted of this offence can be subject to a fine or up to one month in prison.
"It's been around eight or 10 years....It's a guideline,not a policy," said Eddie Gershon.
But while the poster stressed the need to "protect children from harm",Mr Gershon suggested the rule had been adopted to "prevent unruly behavior" among young guests.Asked whether children were welcome in Wetherspoon's pubs,Mr Gershon replied,"Yes,we'd be a fool to say otherwise.We have a kids' menu,coloured pencils for kids—children in pubs is a massive part of what Wetherspoon's does."
However,he warned that parents believed to be "using the pub as a nursery might be asked to leave".Mr Gershon added that "it is just good manners" for parents to stop their children from misbehaving and being unruly in public places.
On its website the pub operator states: "Families are welcome to dine in the majority of our pubs;however,permitted hours for customers aged under 18 years may vary from pub to pub."
It adds: "Some of our pubs may request that all members of a party with an under-18 present order a main meal,if alcoholic is ordered."
