@Backpainandwine Really enjoyed reading the replies to this. As a publican I think that this issue is the "running around". We just say no kids on site after 8pm and definitely not in the main bar.

She'd been told to come to ours because the person picking her up knew we were a safe place. We had a lovely chat about all sorts of things but it really struck me how important making your customers feel safe is and how really proud I was that we fell into that category.

If there's a bar you keep thinking about going to, can I suggest you get round to going as soon as you can. It's far from guaranteed that they'll be here this time next year. I'm not particularly thinking about mine, I'm just thinking about all those I'd like to go to.

PSA, when my Assistant manager closes the bar on time, rather than complain perhaps try to remember he's got a half hour drive home and he's been on duty since 10am. There's always the option of arriving earlier, and then you'll have a bit more drinking time.
