Resturant charging for toddler who had no food!!!
?:\(HI
Just had to get this off my chest, We use to often go to Izumi in Maldon for lunch, set menu buffet style. we were never asked to pay for our daughter, (shes just 2. looks younger):\?:\? she never had any chinese (I personally think its got too much additives for her) she's a fussy eater and Ive always taken her own biscuits/rainsin/ssnacks etc to keep her happy. This has never been a problem we've always been very welcomed in the restuarant.and have enjoyed our lunch (during week days) we stoped there last sunday and were expected to payfor her even though she had nothing to eat, the manager said this is the restaurant policy and that the previous times we had been there we should have been charged!!!After making a fuss he didnt charge us for her but said infuture we would be, obviously we wont be going back. Has anyone else had this problem??I know certain resturants are given awards for child friendly perhaps there could be a list started for child un friendly!!!

Thankfully most places we have been to have be fine & most seem to be exceptionally good towards children providing them with books or colour in sheets & crayons while they wait.
I have heard of some who wont heat baby food but I think that is down to health& safety rules.
I agree that their should be a 'list of shame' for cafes & restaurants that are unfriendly towards children so as parents know where to avoid. I hope these snotty restaurant managers never have to take their children out for a meal!!

I wonder what their policy is on wheelchairs or zimmer frames?
Surely if buggies were hazardous they would be too!!
