A lot depends on your choice of pub I suppose but we stick to child friendly ones. the landlord

Exactly Lindsay .. pub/restaurants are a different ball game to pub pubs if you understand.
They cater for families and usually have play areas. I have taken my children to this type on many occasions, which are an excellent compromise between a McDonalds and a restaurant and great value, and gave me a little outing too. Like Neil said ... are a suitable place for the family to get together for social time.
As for taking them in just pubs ... well, no, wouldn't (myself) have been happy with this. Young children get bored quickly with adults chatting to each other and, after consuming their coke and crisps will be curious about their surroundings, therefore wandering off and bugging other 'drinkers'. In my opinion, not their fault they sometimes misbehave.
On the few occasions I have visited a certain pub at lunch have seen customers come in with babies in prams .. and for some reason this doesn't sit comfortable with me either .. perhaps I am old fashioned though.
