If You Visit a Restaurant with a Playground and a Kids Menu, Don’t Expect Serenity

Dining out with children can be an adventure, but sometimes it’s the other diners who make it a real challenge. Recently, a group of moms from the UK found themselves in a bit of a pickle when they were asked to relocate within a family restaurant due to some patrons craving tranquility while they read the news.

The moms, who regularly gather for lunch at a local chain called Family Feast, had been enjoying their meals with their seven-month-old babies when they were asked to move to a less desirable spot near the restrooms. One of the moms, Jenna Hart, explained to the Daily Whims that this wasn’t their first encounter with the so-called “peace seekers.” Just the week prior, the manager had inquired how long they planned to stay, claiming a man reading his newspaper was displeased with their company.

Jenna recounted, “The following week, the manager approached one of our group members, who is hard of hearing, and informed us that we needed to move. They said it was because some men wanted a quiet space and that it would be better if we sat out of the way.”

So, men want to enjoy their newspapers without any interruptions from moms and babies, huh? Well, it seems Family Feast is an establishment where adults can expect a serene dining experience. Except, wait—doesn’t this place have a kids’ menu, a playground, and even advertise children’s birthday parties on its website? Oh, yes, it does!

Jenna argues that their group wasn’t disruptive at all, suggesting that the men’s annoyance might have stemmed from the fact that some of them were breastfeeding. While that’s purely speculative, it’s not unheard of for breastfeeding mothers to face undue scrutiny in public spaces.

After voicing her concerns to the restaurant manager, Jenna learned that the employee who asked them to move had made a mistake. A spokesperson for Family Feast also reassured the public, saying, “We are a family-friendly restaurant that welcomes breastfeeding mothers and families with young children to take advantage of all our facilities, including the play areas.” Nevertheless, the moms have decided not to return.

While it’s essential to maintain a level of decorum in any dining establishment, when you choose to eat at a restaurant that serves “YUMMMY garlic bread” alongside a playground, you might want to adjust your expectations regarding children and their noise levels. A group of moms with babies enjoying lunch in a family setting is entirely appropriate, and if you’re hoping for a library-like silence while savoring your meal, you might want to look elsewhere.

In summary, dining with children at a family-oriented restaurant should come with the understanding that kids will be kids, and expecting silence is unrealistic. It’s essential for establishments to embrace family dynamics rather than push them to the back.
