The Farmer's Bar, Aylesbury

Popped in here just before Christmas for a swift pint of Beechwood and thought I'd bring my wife here for a day-early Valentines lunch while the children were at school and our young baby was snoozing in her chair.
I'm a fan of Chiltern beer. The place was busy and the one barman looked inundated with food and drinks orders. My wife taps me on the shoulder and says se'd been told we can't stay to eat as they have a strict under-18s policy. Memsahib remonstrates, saying we were quite happy to eat in one of the siderooms away from the bar. But no, she was told we'd have to eat outside. That would be nice for the baby with snow on the ground and the puddles frozen over. So no lunch. M&S sandwiches eaten in a car park. Might try a meal out again one day when the baby's 14.
