Is the point to do with the purchase?? Rather than the witnessing of the actual drinking of alcohol?? I dont know. Its the first I've ever heard of this. I thought the law covered the sale of food..as long as there was food for sale, then kids were allowed....I stand to be corrected.

The law about children in pubs is that they must have a room for them, Children under the age of 14 are not allowed to witness the purchase of alcohol.

 

Seems weird that, especially as kids can watch you purchasing alcohol in Asda, Tesco etc.

 

Obviously some jobsworth\churchgoing\politically correct brigade member (delete as applicable) has made that rule up to hinder pub landlords.

Pubs and Clubs have different bylaws on children.

 

 

In a club a child over the age of 16 can purchase a certain form of alcohol for there own consumption when purchased with a meal..

Some CLUBs have different laws for different areas of their establishment.

 

Clubs also have Members who are children thus can sit in a bar area whilst with or without there parent or guardian.

 

Dont mind children in club bars but it gets abused by some parents who only use clubs so they dont need a childminder.

 

Plus some adult Banter aint what you'd like your children to hear whilst watchin football.

 

 

new goverment Law coming out in september 09 got loads a guff on pub and club Laws.

Yes and the kids an also watch you get smashed out of your face at home with it as well. Still I never said it wasn't weird. To be honest I was grateful for it, I dont like kids in pubs and the vast majority of the punters don't like it either. The only ones who did were those who used it as a babysitting excercise.
