"One of the greatest places on earth. Apparently they are now limiting how much alcohol you can buy if you’re with your kids - two alcoholic drinks only. Thoughts?" I think its sensible. I have kids. I go in spoons. We go for an occasional meal. I wouldn't drink past 2 with the kids around and its not a place they should be in for extended periods of time. Monitoring drink intake may be more difficult though. | |||

"One of the greatest places on earth. Apparently they are now limiting how much alcohol you can buy if you’re with your kids - two alcoholic drinks only. Thoughts?" I guess it depends how old the kids are, 2 should be enough for most kids to be fair unless they're much older I've got an image of bouncers throwing toddlers out for starting fights with each other | |||

"I think it's a good plan to have a reasonable limit, it's a shame that some parents can't be trusted to limit themselves really. I worked in a pub years and years ago, and we'd have some regulars who'd rock up at 11 when the pub opened, kids in tow, and be there drinking until they got kicked out in the evening once kids weren't allowed. I thought the kids were a bit feral but looking back they were just bored shitless poor buggers. " | |||

"I think it is a sad state of affairs that parents have to be told they should stop drinking when they are with their kids" I agree. Whilst many may see it as an erosion of their personal freedoms, this has been law for a very long time. If people 'need' to drink with their kids around, they're free to do so at home. The policy exists in pretty much every on site retailer for the comfort of all patrons. I worked in the industry for 20 years and have enacted those policies many times. | |||

The schools around here tend to be ok as long as you don't take the piss and the kids otherwise have good attendance. | |||

"I had a chat withe a friend the other day about the old 'spoons' and I actually think it's quite a positive place, but I would say it depends where you live. Where I live in Devon and Cornwall we have small towns where different generations of a family can be on a night out, separately, however the local 'spoons' acts as neutral territory where families can bump into each other, have a laugh and a joke, some may eat (okay it's not the best but it is cheap and cheerful) and then go on their separate ways. The price point allows this, the pubs tend to be large and so the layout allows this. With so many of our local pubs closing (before the spoons came along) it has reintroduced a little life into tired old towns and dare I say it, some relaxed social interaction between different generations. I know that this is not the same in some of the more urban parts of our country, but in mainly rural areas it actually feels like we are getting a tradition back. (the pub in my village in Devon was always full of different generations drinking together). I think it's important to note that Wetherspoons are only enforcing the drink limit to comply with a law laid down in 1902 where it is illegal to be d*unk in charge of a child under the age of 7. In my local village pub, due to the close nature and small community, this didn't need to be explicitly stated as societal judgement would do this. I actually applaud the introduction of this chain (and many would call me a snob), so I think fair play for not just trying to offload alcohol without a little bit of corporate responsibility " Well said. As I pointed out above; it's a non story aimed at inflaming a 'nanny state' debate. In reality every retailer adheres to this law. | |||

"Don't think adults should be getting hammered while looking after kids full stop. But each to their own. I don't like the nanny state either" In many US states, it's illegal to be d*unk in charge of minors - very strict penalties if caught. Is there not something similar in the UK? | |||

"I have been in many of their pubs. I like the fact that there is no music or pool tables. Would prefer if he got rid of the fruit machines too. Some are very good and some not so good. I actually prefer pubs that are not dog friendly and won't eat in pubs where dogs are allowed behind the bar or in the kitchen. I used to enjoy my old working man's club where women were not allowed in except on a Saturday and that was in the lounge bar only and not the saloon bar The 1980s are over I am all for women only bars too.. and mixed bars and bars where you can smoke if you want to. But there should be a place for men only, women only, and mixed. And before anyone mentions no gypsies or Irish. I am only talking about the sexes not race or religion I have zero idea why any man would want a place where women are not allowed Personally a Male only environment would be a repellant My only thought is Men only establishments should be permitted so right thinking men and women could avoid and be separated from backward thinking men Perfect solution.. Nobody should force anybody to go there... I remember talking about pigeon racing over a pint and it was great.. perhaps it's forward thinking.. womem may enjoy women only spaces too Yes they do.

"Will never go there after having to suffer seeing and hearing that lying oaf that is the main shareholder talk bollocks over Brexit." I don't think his business particularly relies on European imports or exports to be fair. His beers are mainly produced in the UK using British ingredients.. to be fair he has brought life back to many old disused city centre buildings.. I think he spoke as he saw it and he is entitled to his opinion as you are too | |||

"This story has been kind of misreported and been twisted into some form of 'nanny state' piece. In reality it has been a law for a very long time that it is both illegal to be d*unk in charge of children and to be d*unk on licensed premises. Most pubs have a policy on adults with children, all the pub in question did is put the policy up in writing. It's not a new thing nor any different from any other licensed establishment.

"I think it is a sad state of affairs that parents have to be told they should stop drinking when they are with their kids" Sadly, it's a sign of the times. I've worked in Hotels and Licensing for over 40 years and over these decades I have witnessed a sea change in attitudes. Nowadays, it's almost the done thing to drag the kids along to whatever pub, restaurant or similar place, and allow the kids to run riot and treat the place like a playground! There's little or no control by the parents, let alone the simple concept of respect for other customers etc who usually want a meal or drink in peace. Plus, there are the dangers of staff having to avoid boisterous kids, whilst carrying plates of food, or drinks. If an accident occurs, the parents are more often on the defence of their little "darlings" and heap retribution on the poor and usually blameless staff. Add in alcohol to the parents, and the whole idea of being in control of themselves, let alone their awful badly behaved offspring, goes totally out of the window. | |||

"i wont drink in spoons out of principle... the owner is a bit of a tit... and they don't pay their staff very well" Yea, terrible guy and business. Each week, Martin invites around 20 Wetherspoons managers to a meeting in Watford to discuss ideas for improving the business that are 'from the shop floor, rather than the board'. He also visits around 15 Wetherspoons pubs each week – he spent Christmas Day at two of his Devon pubs – and incentivises staff by paying out half the company's post-tax profits as a monthly bonus. Last year, his 40,000 employees split a bonus pot of around £50million. He has also handed free shares in the company to around 10,000 staff since he founded Wetherspoons 41 years ago, and pays pub staff on average ten per cent more than the minimum wage. | |||
