A pub chain in the United Kingdom is limiting to two the number of alcoholic drinks a customer with children can order, in an attempt to cut down the time they spend there, The Daily Mail reported.

"We are not in any way a children's pub with an activity center," Eddie Gershon, a spokesman for the chain, JD Wetherspoon, told The Daily Mail. "It is not a wonderful day out for children spending hours in the pub."

Ordering coffee is preferred over an alcoholic beverage, but not more than two, Gershon told The Daily Mail.

"We would let an adult order an alcoholic drink with a meal and another drink after that, but we don't want children there bored while adults drink," he reportedly said.
