I think eating establishments need to rethink their pricing for children. As Becles said, what a 3 year old can eat is very different to an 8 year old. I think there needs to be an under 5's menu and then a 5-11 menu...sorted.

Or measure how tall the kid is................

I can actually understand them expecting a child of 'above baby' age (prob 2 or 3) to have their meal paid for, especially in somewhere like a carvery where you can go back for more as often as you want, to my mind its actually different to a standard menu where its all plated up and besically up to the customer how much they ear or leave or who they share it with.

I look after a boy who just turned 4 last week. We have lunch out somewhere once or twice a week, and its been a good few months since I ordered him childrens meals in most places, they simply arenet big enough to fill him up! When we have a carvery he eats me under the table - often 3 platefuls of veg! Like others have said, this also helps me give him proper food rather than nuggets/fish fingers and chips all the time.

At least in Toby the childrens meals include veg etc. My biggest gripe when mine was younger was children's menu with a choice of burger - and chips, fish fingers - and chips, sausage - and chips etc with only veg being either peas or baked beans!

Not in a Toby, but my daughter aged 3-ish asked if she could have brocolli and cauliflower instead of beans once. The waitress laughed, I said, "seriously, she prefers them, so can she have them?" she laughed again, said "oh yeah" and brought the meal with beans.

I sent it back and said, "we did ask for real veg and not beans", waitress said, "Oh, I thought you were joking", then went off and showed the plate to the manager, pointed at us, manager said something to her and then she shot into the kitchen and came back with the veg we had asked for.

Don't think she was very happy with us! LOL
