I deliberately left my 14year old son outside and asked the barman if I could bring him in for a meal because it was 8.45pm, so didn't know if children were allowed in. I was told there wasn't a problem ,therefore I bought a round of drinks that came to £16. We got a table and was looking at the menu to choose our food. Literally 7 minutes in and a manager approaches us and informs us we have to leave by 9pm because no children allowed then! Immediately I said we had asked the staff before even letting my son enter and we even told them we were going to order food. He didn't address the member of staff about relaying the incorrect information to us. I then enquired if we could finish our drinks off outside, to which he replied no and they would lose their licence if he permitted that. I politely told him it wasn't our fault and I intended to consume our beverages, as I wasn't wasting my money. He started walking off and turned back round and said I should be grateful that he was allowing us to finish them and not make us leave straightaway. I have worked in many pubs and this was terrible customer service. In addition, the staff member that initially told us children were allowed in should be full]y aware of such a basic but terribly important piece of information. This pub is local to me and the rude and unprofessional behaviour has tainted my opinion of this place. I think some staff training needs to be done rapid at this establishment. BIG THUMBS FOWN
