The Fighting Cocks, St Albans

Finally, somewhere to visit after an afternoon walk in the park that welcomes families. Free jelly babies on the way out were a hit with our well behaved 5 yo.

It won't please those that would relegate us to McDonalds or Harvester, but it's nice to know there's room for all in some pubs in St Albans.

Perry, I think you've hit the nail on the head. The rule does little to protect children and is more a convenient excuse to protect sensitive adults. I realise drinking culture in this country is not as enlightened as other countries but surely there's space for families for an hour or so on a Sunday afternoon?

We've been using this pub for many years both after a walk in the park and for lunch and always found this a great place with charming atmosphere, welcoming staff and excellent food and a good selection of ales. Sadly, on our last visit we had the same problem that a previous poster mentioned. We were made to feel very unwelcome because we made the mistake of taking our children on a Sunday afternoon. When I questioned the policy, it was explained that this was because 'some builders had in the past used bad language'. Perhaps I wasn't looking hard enough but I didn't spot any rowdy builders on the Sunday afternoon that I visited. I'm sure it makes sense to whoever made this rule but I think it's about time people started laying the responsibility for bad behaviour at the perpetrators.
