In my experience, it is reasonably common at SCA feasts to have older
kids doing much of the serving--which is getting close to the period
model. And if they are doing the serving, they presumably have to be
fed somewhere.
As to smaller children, I don't know either whether they would have
been at a period feast (my guess is not, but I don't really know) or
where.
