Ye Olde Monken Holt — Restaurant in London

You see fake reviews on every establishment and Iv seen a few on this pub over the last couple of months from people, regarding being refusing entry and/or served due to being Irish travellers. Today Iv seen a video of a 72 year old women coming into the pub and being refused a drink. No reason given only the man pointing to a sign saying no filing and we have the right to refuse to serve anyone. What could possibly be the reason for refusing a 72 year old women a drink in an empty pub? Sean and Katie how do you explain this? I'm Irish myself, my dad is a traveller and my mum is English, Iv been in the pub on plenty of occasions and so have my family it's just vile racist behaviour. All of your customers well most of them are Irish and I wonder what they would think doing that to an elderly lady all because she is a traveller. You should be ashamed of yourselves, I will be sharing the video to all of the local Barnet, Hadley wood etc groups so people can see what you have done. If the shoe was on the other foot and it was any other ethnic minority or race there would be an uproar. Never again will I or my family step in the pub or recommend...

'Regular Customers Only'

Not sure why anyone is reviewing this pub as 'welcoming' or 'friendly'... There a sign in the door stating 'Regular Customers Only'.

This sign has appeared a number of times over the past couple of years (I think they've been told to remove the sign on occasion, but it has gone up again at a later date).

Whether legal and 'their right' to do this or not, it's unfriendly at best and more likely a dog-whistle for blatant discrimination.

If you're happy with discrimination, feel free to ignore this. Otherwise, report or vote with your feet - there are many other welcoming...

Been in many times with my young lad (10). He sits quietly with a Diet Coke and some crisps after a long walk or to watch a game. He’s even been known to go up to the bar and get his own. Place is normally very quiet. Suddenly today, when it was a bit busier, we came into watch a game and there was a strictly enforced “no under 16’s rule” and they refused to serve us. No problem, your business, but we won’t be back when the Sunday afternoon...
