At the Garden Gate pub restaurant, the children's menu has the menu printed on the left of the page, and a drawing to fill in and colour pictures of fruit on the right.
The serving staff brought up a drinking glass with half a dozen different colour crayons. This entertained children, ages three to eleven. The children were able to fill in the numerous fruits outlined.
The children showed each other their drawings. This kept them entertained until the food arrived.
Many restaurants provide children's activities. That makes the children keen to attend the restaurant.
The table activitity also keeps them sitting at the table. The children are not racing around. This prevents children from annoying other customers with the sight of distracting movement or the noise of shouting children, or parnets calling their children back.
It is safer for the children. The children don't collide with serving staff, get lost, run into the street, or disappear.
Parents are saved the trouble of entertaining kids and can talk to each other. Parents don't have the anxiety of having to watch where children are going. Nor the stress of jumping up to follow them when they go to far, nor to call them back when the food arrives.
Win-win all around, for children, parents, other customers, and staff.
The Garden Gate pub is in Hampstead, north west London, England, UK.
