I reckon we're quite short of these; but myself and Bumbalina do need to meet our chums and their kids somewhere at weekends!


I make it the following ED Pubs that welcome kids:


The Herne, The Vale


Outside ED we could consider The Sun & Doves (Camberwell), The Crown & Greyhound.... erm, any more?


The ones that don't:


EDT & Black Cherry (except mid-week afternoons), The Bishop, The Palmerston, Inside 72, Liquorice, Franklins, CPT, The Drum, Uplands


Is that fair? What have I missed? It seems that 'adults only' get a reasonable crack of the whip in ED?

Just slightly outside of ED I would say the Nuns Head does a good job of dealing with kids.

If only I could say the same about the parents ;-)


And the Magdala does a good job too I think - high chairs and that


Oh and the Gowlett I've seen many a parent (some famous) with children in tow

  • 3 months later...
EDT is a fine and dandy place to grab a meal with kids on a saturday lunchtime. I;ve eaten there with two smalls a few times and found it really friendly and good value, with good childrens food and nice stuff for adults too. I have to say that whenever I've been there Franklins has been a dream with kids. In fact, we celebrated our daughter's second birthday there and she tucked in heartily to the lamb's tongue.

In my experience the Bishop has been great. I always take Max in there. The staff are lovely and very friendly towards him. There's always loads of babies and young children in there.


On the other hand the EDT seems to have a harsh policy. The bar staff have told me it's illegal or breaks the term of their licence to have babies in there after 7.00pm. It's embarassing when one member of a group of friends is asked to leave at 7.00pm by the bar staff to take the baby away.

Found this...


"The new Act permits children on premises provided they are supervised by someone over 18 if the young person is under 16 years of age where the main activity is the sale of alcohol (e.g. a pub). Where it isn't then they must be so accompanied after midnight and before 5am (e.g. a restaurant)."


I think though that each establishment has the right to refuse if that's what they want to do, but they shouldn't claim that it's the law when it's not.


Personally I think that 7 in the evening is pushing it a bit for kids... Fine in the day time, but surely in the evening people should be able to have a drink and get a bit rowdy, without having to worry about little kids in the place.

I'm very shocked to hear that a member of my staff told you that children are not allowed after 7pm. This is in fact not the case. In fact it is not the policy of our license to refuse an accompanied child in our establishment after 7pm and you shouldn't have been made to leave! I will address this issue immediately and I assure you it will not happen again.

My apologies for this, our policy is that Parents can decide what is right for their children. EDT proudly welcomes families of all ages.


Best Regards,

we too have been warned that we will need to leave once it reaches 7. This was when sitting down outside with a very young baby - at around 5pmish - it did give the impression that we weren't really welcome there at all. Having said that, it wasn't said in an unfriendly way at all - rather as a kind of passing on of the rules (and this was about a year ago).

    • This presumably hasn't been done by vandals. It's hardly a Sycamore Gap situation. So if it's been done by professionals, unless it was a mistake (unlikely) there must have been a good reason, as it would have cost money. It would perhaps have been a good idea to put a notice on the tree explaining why such drastic work was done, but usually (I think) it would be either because of disease (often not noticeable on the surface) or that the roots or branches  were endangering nearby structures. As already said, nobody on here is likely to know. The tree department in Southwark Council are helpful in my (admittedly limited) experience. Please post on here when you have found out, as I agree what's left of the tree looks pretty odd. Depending on why the work was done, possibly they intend to remove the rest as well?
    • I have a very stupid question. I want to get a SIM card to put in an old mobile as a back up,  in case despite my best efforts my mobile gets stolen and I have no way of contacting anybody quickly, eg banks. Can I just buy any old cheap pay as you go  SIM card and put say ten pounds on it and it will then be fine for years (with the phone kept charged!) even if I don't use it, or do I have to use the phone  every so often to keep the SIM card valid?
    • I hate to see trees cut down to such an unfinished state. Unless the tree is home to wildlife, an effort should be made to remove & replace. Otherwise, it's just so useless & unsightly.
    • Given the level of care in Dulwich Park, I would not expect this to be careless or unnecessary. It will grow back.
