Just as an FYI The Cherry Tree is no longer a child friendly pub. My sleeping baby was recently kicked out of the restaurant. I understand not wanting toddlers running around the bar, but if the restaurant is to survive, especially in this area, I think well behaved children should be allowed in the restaurant if parents are having a meal and they aren?t disturbing other guests. As a side, the food isn?t good enough to get a babysitter for, so we probably will never return. Good luck!
We were there on 3 January, three large parties with young kids, all having a great time. I am one of the naysayers about having kids in pubs but everyone seemed happy - so did you just have bad day eliz01? Struggling to recognise the picture you have painted.

Sleeping babies tend to wake up .. and when they do they tend to let it be known that they too are hungry

or need changing..

People who may not get the chance to get out much and may of paid a baby sitter to have a rare night off, away from kids need some reassurance that they can enjoy a nice meal and a drink in peaceful surroundings..


I think it I reasonable that 19.00 is the cut off for kids in bars. These days parents have all day/afternoon

to have a family meal together. Like a 7 hour time slot..

So the Headline is actually. The Cherry Tree Pub is adults only at night but welcomes families during the daytime.


I am upset because I should be an exception to this stated, and common practice, rule. My solution is to try and hurt this new local business with a misleading headline on a local forum.

the Cherry Tree is indeed child friendly. However, post 19.00 children and babies should by rights be abed. This is the time when grown ups want to come out to play.

As DF so correctly opined, sleeping babies awake and demand, usually vocally.

You are out gunned I am afraid, and identified yourself as unreasonable, entitled, selfish. There is an etiquette to life in ED which you would do well to

consider, abide by and adhere to. And not attempt to ruin the still building reputation of a local establishment happy to welcome well behaved little ones for lunch.

Eliz01 are you saying that you were in the middle of dinner, having arrived earlier than 7pm then as you are, you were told the baby wasn't supposed to be there post 7pm? I can understand how that would be really annoying for you, but surely they didn't quite 'kick you out'?

I have been to the Cherry tree 3 times now with my kids and they are perfectly accepting of children. We even did sit in the bar area on New Years Day with friends and there was no problem.

I think all pubs around here, despite serving food, don't allow kids after 7pm

And I agree that is pretty reasonable. Sometimes when you have a young baby it will of course sleep in the buggy and you could feasibly sit and enjoy a meal but a rule is a rule and I think it's fair enough for it to be there.

This all comes down to how you were told about the 7pm rule really, but if it was a polite reminder it is just them doing their job.

We love kids at the cherry tree and always make a fuss. They're part of us aren't they?


We have a 'no children' after 7.30pm policy.



Has anyone been before 7.30pm when children are permitted and can say The Cherry Tree isn't child friendly?




What do you all think about children in pubs at night? A pub is a pub....

I was in the cherry tree on Sunday 3rd and saw an appalling family sitting at a table by the bar area. their children certainly weren't asleep. they were running riot. one of the adults actually took a picture of said kids clambering over the bar stools oblivious to the fact this was seriously pissing everyone else off.

Sorry to hear of your experience eliz01, I think would have let a sleeping baby stay but do generally agree with the no kids after 7 rule.

    • Hi, Looking for a bedframe with no head or footboard for a double mattress. Normal UK double. Ideally wood. If someone has one to sell or give away please get in touch, thank you!  
    • Great answer, but how do you then square it up with pension pots investments without adversely impacting future growth.  Buit of a tricky one as on one hand it should be nationalised but on the other we don't want to see future pension poverty relying on government top ups.  Far too complicated for a simple answer   
    • Driving down one of the side streets near the park last night we saw a group of kids in front holding a rope across the road. Did feel a little anxious and then when we got closer it turned out to be a harmless trick - nothing in the road/dangerous, just three kids on each side holding long twigs as if they were tugging a rope between them. i'm conflicted - quite a theatrical prank (I presume copied from online) but given the location could well have been the same group mentioned above. 
    • I have no idea, but not so difficult for one of them to stand to the side and record. In an odd way at least if they were doing it for social media it might explain the motivation, albeit misguided. Others may disagree, but that feels less worrying than a desire to intimidate.   I think comparable games like "knock down ginger" where children run away and/or momentarily stick their tongue out as cheeky gesture, have a different vibe to what is described here.
