"The great debate of the modern pub - should kids be allowed in? - has come to a head at an east London boozer, which has banned children after 7pm. William The Fourth in Leyton issued a statement based on customer feedback with regards to children in the pub, and complaints that 'the pub has resembled a creche'. The pub had previously allowed under 18s until 8pm."
"'Unsupervised children can pose risks not only to themselves but also to other customers and our team. We remain committed to being a family-friendly pub during the day, but to ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment for all our guests, we are introducing the following rules regarding children.' They added that the pub will be an 'adults-only space' from 7pm, 'giving adults a child-free atmosphere in the evening while still offering families generous daytime hours.'"
William The Fourth in Leyton has moved its under-18s cutoff earlier, banning children after 7pm in response to customer feedback and complaints that the pub 'has resembled a creche'. The pub had previously allowed under-18s until 8pm and is open from 3pm, maintaining family-friendly access during daytime hours. Management cited concerns that unsupervised children can pose risks to themselves, customers, and staff, and described evening hours as an adults-only space to provide a child-free atmosphere. Reactions from the local community have been mixed, with both support and pushback from parents. The venue is run by Exale Brewing and hosts award-winning Short Road Pizza.
