Not entirely sure, it used to be the case that under 14's could go in if they were having a meal with an adult, at least I think thats the case. There is seating outside, not sure if that can be used by under 14's (although saying that it'll probably be used by smokers). > > How much is a pint of coke or non alcohol drinks in weatherspoons these > days over £2, I would guess, Some pubs charge over £1 for a 1/2 pint > of coke, which is almost as much as a pint in the rugby club (which is > one of the reasons I don't go into pubs very often) Weatherspoons is very reasonable on drinks pricing. IIRC the last time I had a coke in there it was about £1.29 for a pint of coke (well Pepsi). They also do tea and coffee at really reasonable prices. I have a feeling a cup of coffee is only about 60 or 70p and pints are about £1.70 upwards IIRC. > With the shoreline cafe, I think neil Stone has identified the issue we > were having so we should be able to get on much easier next time we > meet there. > Where is the Shoreline cafe? Maybe we could try both out on a Saturday and compare them.
