To expect an 11 year old to be able to eat off the adults menu

Me & DP have been invited out to dinner by the in laws, text from MIL said 'you choose where we go, we aren't fussy'.

I text MIL I've booked a table at a local pub type and a copy of the menu. I then get a reply asking if we could go somewhere see as there is no children's menu for SIL age 11.

I could understand if the menu was fairly out there but there are things like a chicken Kiev or pie and mash but apparently these aren't suitable as she won't eat it all anyway.

I suggested she could eat something from the starters menu with a side but apparently this wouldn't be a balanced meal?

AIBU to expect and 11 year old (secondary school age!!!) to be able to choose something from the adults menu and not to want to change where we are going to accommodate her?

Bit of peace and love, eh?

I didn't say she was a bitch. I said she was being a bitch. That is very different.
Hmm Well, no. Not really We know that the whole question of AIBU asks folks to take a stance but it is not fight club.

A reminder that the raison d'ĂȘtre of Mumsnet is to make lives easier. Our talk guidelines are here for anyone who may need them.

(HQ disclaimers apply) Personally, I would opt for Pizza if I were you, OP.
Peace and love
