"The Kenton Arms announced its 'new no children policy' over the weekend, stating that unsupervised children were disturbing other drinkers. The issue is not with children but with their lack of supervision."
"Owner Egil Johansen mentioned that staff often face confrontation when asking parents to supervise their children, creating uncomfortable situations. He emphasized that the pub cannot be responsible for other people's children."
"The reaction to the new policy has been 'amazing', with many messages from other pub owners seeking advice on implementing similar rules due to facing the same challenges."
The Kenton Arms in Hackney has banned children from its premises due to disturbances caused by unsupervised minors. Previously, there was a 5pm curfew for children, but the new policy prohibits anyone under 18 at all times. The pub's owner cited confrontations with parents when staff requested supervision of children as a contributing factor. The response to the policy has been overwhelmingly positive, with other pub owners seeking advice on similar measures. This ban is one of the first of its kind in the area.
