Three Frogs, Wokingham

We've been going to The Three Frogs as a family for a number of years and have always treated it as our local and somewhere to go with family and friends. We've even been on Christmas Day and Christmas Eve for a drink the last couple of years. However, our last visit to the pub with our 13 year old son and our friends with their 5 year old girl (who is very well behaved) we were told that we weren't allowed to be in the bar with the children after 6pm and this does mean they have to be over 18!!!. We had no choice but to sit in the restaurant which meant we had to wait for table service and it just wasn't what we were thinking of when we decided to go for a drink at the end of the week. It was only 6.30pm which I thought was very unreasonable - 9pm I wouldn't have a problem with! We found out this decision was made by the manager due to one or two families in one night with unruly children. I think this is a poor decision on the managers part as the pub is in a location surrounded by families. The families with unruly children should have been approached instead of penalising all families! We used to go there a lot to eat but I am not prepared to go there anymore and part with my money for food while they have this rule. I will be writing to Head Office. No complaints with regards to the waiters, waitresses and food, service has always been great. So such a shame :-(
