Fantastic idea! Restaurants and pubs that welcome children are worth their weight in gold. Plus knowing about someone's local pub that has a fantastic children's playground would be useful as well.

Definitely Galaxy - good idea.
Have just come back from a holiday where the local, charming-looking pub was the subject of the rudest poem I have ever seen in a visitor's book, all because of the miserable landlord's attitude to serving children (during the day, during the week...). Needless to say we didn't even try.

Sorry, too many "fantastics" for one message

CountessDracula · 06/09/2004 13:05

Good idea - and places to avoid would be good too!

I think brilliant idea, but only if ages of reviewers' accompanying kids specified: I remember when ds was a baby, going to places which were supposedly 'child friendly' & finding that this applied only to those children old enough to use swings etc independently in an enclosed play area, or old enough to use supplied board games, and didn't extend to having changing facilities, clean high-chairs or willingness to heat baby food in the microwave (one cafe in a bookshop with an extensive children's section, told us that to do so was against health and safety regulations, and they 'weren't allowed' to supply hot water as alternative!!

It's a great idea, anyone who offers a good service should be encouraged. Maybe it could develop into a mumsnet star system displayed proudly outside participating establishments.

I just love any excuse for a coffee (hence my nickname) so I look forward to carrying out extensive research

Excellent idea!

memum · 06/09/2004 15:09

Agreed! Excellent Idea!

brilliant plan. i only know two! but they are lifesavers. start the topic techs!!!

Carrie (mumsnet) · 07/09/2004 13:03

Hi guys

What a great idea. We've asked tech to add Find the Best Family Friendly Restaurants to our list of reviews asap ie it'll be linked to from Find the Best on the home page. We think it makes sense to add it to the list of review categories rather than just have a long uncollated list here. We'll let you know as soon as you're able to send a review in and we promise we'll keep it simple and there'll be plenty of room for nutshell comments. Hope that's OK

Thanks again for the suggestion

Carrie, Rachel and Justine

Forgot to say we've decided to do the same for Recommended Days out with Children - watch this space to send in your review!
