Accompanied children are welcome in the garden, yes, but unfortunately it is unsuitable as a play area.
The garden is situated across a road between the pub and the carpark, for their own safety, children MUST be accompanied by a responsible adult whilst in the garden and cannot cross the road or enter the pub unaccompanied.
We know how easy it can be to be distracted on a nice sunny day with a pint or a glass of chilled wine in your hand to not notice what the kids are up to. We totally respect that. But parents who allow their children to behave in a manner that can endanger themselves or others will be asked to leave.
Sorry if that seems harsh, we do not want any casualties due to a total lack of supervision or responsibility.
