W**kers in pubs with kids.

[Coatigan]

There’s a pub in Beverley in the East Ridings (I forget its name) which has the rules of:
No kids
No dogs
No mobile phones.
If you get your phone out and you are seen you are asked to leave.

How it should be.

Yes you knowing its name is a good sign of it doing well.

Its probably owned by Sam Smith (part of the family who founded John Smiths breweries), he's a right obnoxious ****. Thats the rules in all of his pubs and most of them go to the wall and end up being sold for building land.

It's really the fault of the parents, not the kids.

Kids can and do behave if managed correctly. I regularly use a cafe that is often full of kids, but the kids behave and no reasonable person could complain. It's the sort of people who go in, I suppose. The place doesn't seem to attract scrotes, although it welcomes every colour and creed in the area.

Kids and dogs all down to the parents, the problem is that many parents can't control themselves never mind their kids.

Lots of parents when they take their kids dont talk to them, they sit them in a corner with their ipad or let them run rampant whilst they talk to their mates, rather than getting the kids to be part of the group and talk about something they can relate to.

Almost definitely, particularly given that Sam Smiths is a Yorkshire brewery. While what you say is true, there's a Smiths pub where I live where all those rules apply and it seems to do very well. If you're after a little oasis of calm away from all the stresses of modern life, it's perfect. That said, the chairman is an eccentric old bastard (and that's being kind). He still drops into his pubs unannounced purely to check that his archaic rules are being applied and has been known to shut premises and sack all the staff on the spot if matters aren't to his liking. In August 2020, after the Cow and Calf pub in Sheffield failed to serve his favourite dessert, Humphrey Smith dismissed the managers and closed it.

We popped into his pub in Beverley for a few scoops in the town after the races one afternoon. It was the busiest pub of the lot.

It’s a strange old policy, at a time when so many pubs are fighting just to stay in business.

I can’t imagine a single person being specifically attracted to a pub by a no phones policy. But they’ll be plenty giving it a swerve.

Sensibly most of them I’ve been in don’t really bother enforcing it, unless someone is screaming down it maybe.

Yep, their pub in Chester has same rules too re phones.

My sister in law used to manage pubs for him, said he was a right **** any wastages were taken from staff wages.

Sam Smith is his his 80's, his sons are desperately trying to take over as they can see the business being ruined by a daft out of touch old fucker.

You know what our parents would probably have done the same, how much can you talk about to a 5/6 year old in a noisy pub, our daughter sits on her iPad/phone and just does her own thing, me and the wife get to chat shit and have a nice meal and drink whilst out as a family. Our daughter still talks with us but she’s never run round like an idiot and enjoys been out.
