Table manners & etiquette for children

In order to help parents teach their little ones some table manners, The Kensington Hotel has teamed up with etiquette and manners expert Jean Broke-Smith to give youngsters a series of tips in this video.

The Kensington Hotel, a member of The Doyle Collection, will also be hosting one hour complimentary classes on 12th and 19th November to teach children aged between five and ten a few basic table manners.

Jean Broke-Smith said: "They say that 'manners maketh the man' but I'm a great believer in the same being true for children as well. If you take time to teach your children table manners while at home, you'll find dining out a much more pleasurable experience and can hopefully avoid those stressful confrontations! Whether you are enjoying a decadent afternoon tea or a three course dinner, these tips will stand you in good stead and help your children to grow into polite adults."
