Today we’re tackling one of the capital’s talking points - should kids be allowed in pubs?
The William the Fourth pub in Leyton, East London, announced a policy change on social media, barring children from 7pm, saying that the move was necessary to maintain a “comfortable and enjoyable environment” for everyone as it had recently come to “resemble a creche”. The new rules mean the pub will be an “adults-only space” from 7pm onwards.
The move has proved somewhat controversial, with comments on the pub’s social media announcement switched off.
Whether pubs should ban children has been a long-running debate, and we’re joined by The Standard’s News Reporter Megan Howe, and The Standard’s Food & Drink writer Josh Barrie, to discuss.
