"Egil Johansen, the pub manager, stated, 'It's a big decision to make and it's not something we have done easily, but we have come to the conclusion that we have to run a pub that is safe, consistent, manageable for our staff and pleasant for our customers.'"
"Johansen recalled an incident where a group of children returned from a party high on sugar, running around and causing chaos, while parents did not intervene. He noted, 'Staff would try and tell parents to supervise their children but there have been instances where parents have become confrontational and argumentative even in front of their own children.'"
A London pub has implemented a ban on children after staff reported deteriorating behavior, including running, screaming, and climbing on furniture. Despite introducing signage and warnings, behavior did not improve, leading to the decision to restrict entry to adults only after 5pm. The pub's manager believes this will attract regular customers who previously avoided the venue. While the community response has been positive, there is sympathy for parents who followed the rules but can no longer visit with their children.
