Dear Katie,
A close friend of mine recently had a baby and I booked her and a group of our friends into a nice restaurant for her first night out since becoming a mum. I made an online booking at Bob Bob Ricard in London, which is famous for its “press for champagne” buttons on tables. We had vouchers for the place and thought it would be a lovely treat.
As much as she would have loved a night of freedom, my friend is exclusively breastfeeding and told me she felt she had no option but to bring the baby with her to the restaurant. So to be on the safe side I phoned Bob Bob Ricard to check she would be OK to bring the newborn baby along. I was told that no, thanks to its strict policy of no children aged under 15, it was not welcome.
