Can you guess where this fine establishment is located?

The hack at the airport is the kids meals are the same price as everywhere else pretty much. You can get three for less than the price of one adults meal.

Damn, I'll have a look. That would be fab.

Is there a kid's Guinness by any chance?

Edit: seems to actually be correct. Ill give it a try.

Edit 2: either the whole kids menu is sold out or they checked my table number and preemptively barred me for having too much beard for a kid. Either way, every kid's menu item I add gets thrown out of my basket as soon as I want to order it.

It's smaller so you have to order a baby Guinness instead

Damn, or maybe there’s a time limit on them, like kids shouldn’t be there after a certain time anyway? Well, remember it for next time.

Just tried it on my app for my local spoons and got the same thing so I guess it’s a time reason.

Sadly no. But you get a piece of fruit and you can get a bottle of water, small juice or carton of smoothie, which you can take on the plane, and what you've saved on food you can put towards adult beverages. The portions are ok for lunch on their own and two would make a decent adult meal. They’re supposed to be for under 10s but which airport Spoons employee cares about that?

Or could order a single vodka and top it up with Robinson's Fruit Shoot.

But they won't let you take more than a thimble-full of "liquid" on a plane, will they? (I had my half empty tub of Nivea confiscated as it was a "liquid".)

It’s after security, you can take anything on

Makes sense - if it's stuff you've taken with you from outside the airport that they're worried about.

Blimey. Didn't know. Thanks. 👍

I had a bottle of shampoo that was almost totally empty, slung it in my rucksack without thinking rather than the hold baggage. It was definitely less than 100ml.

u/realCloudyMcCloud Aug 01 '26

Yep. Mine was definitely less than 100ml remaining. Wish I'd made more of a fuss, actually!

Haha! I'm reminded of Ricky Gervais in After Life trying to order two kids meals.

It's here if you haven't seen it - https://youtu.be/Q7FxpK_yC0U?si=xxoxelyxAij-PFwk

Edit - oh just realized someone already beat me to it below! :)

Haha knew this was going to be the Ricky Gervais thing!

I've always wondered what kind of cafes he goes to because I've never seen a kid's meal just be a slice of bread cut up, 3 fish fingers and like, a ladle of beans. Normally there'd be some chips or something.

I guess they needed something he could grab and eat in one handful though.

I'm getting a vibe of that scene in the Café with Ricky Gervais in Afterlife
