Licensing act - re standing at the bar (contd below)
Hi folks
Just had a stand up row with an obnoxious manager from the Ember Inn chain. I and 3 colleagues went in and ordered 4 meals, one glass of wine (for me) 2 cokes and 1 soda and lime.
The general manager asked for ID from the youngest of the group (19 yrs old). Now whilst I appreciate that he may well have been under 18 as far as she was concerned she was most rude when asking for it. She was quite loud without any pleasantries such as please etc. Other clients around us stopped what they were doing to listen.
When Simon stated that he had no ID she said that under 18yr olds were not allowed in the Pub. Thats English law. Now the pub quite clearly states that children under the age of 14 are not allowed in there and children over 14 only allowed in with an adult if having a meal. She poo pooed the fact that he had no ID with a comment that he must surely get asked all the time and told him in future to bring the ID in otherwise he would not be allowed in the pub.
No way does he look under 14.

The way he looks is irrelevant, she is entiteled to ask. However I suugest you complain
Ember inns have a site that you can write a criticism, but as I know the complaint go's back to the manager.
Ember Inn's are owned by Mitchells & Butlers

Under 18's not being allowed in pubs is not "English Law"
It is purely a matter of the chain's policy.
The relevant sections of the Licensing Act are only conerned with the consumption of alcohol by minors, and the purchase of alcohol by, or on behalf of, minors.
Plenty of pubs welcome children in pushchairs.
