Children and the Melton Mowbray

[nmg]

I've now phoned Trading Standards at the City of London, and they can find no record of a condition on the license for the Melton Mowbray that would prohibit children. This would seem to contradict the duty manager's assertion that no children were allowed as a condition of their license. They also seemed interested that the Melton Mowbray were unable to show me the license copy or summary that they're required to have prominently displayed.

The next step will be to phone Fuller's head office and ask them to explain themselves.

Good Lord I dislike the Penderil's Oak (if by that you mean the one in Holborn)... SO many bad beer experiences in there -_-

Mind you, there aren't that many pubs in the area large enough to accommodate more than about 20! My favorite, the Seven Stars, can comfortably fit ...oooh 25?

It used to be great, I think it is now suffering from the "weatherspoons has got to large" issue which means that it is far more a matter of luck these days as to whether the current staff know what real beer is about.
As to the other thing, if you aren't going out in a large group then you are right in saying there are some much better pubs to go in. I mentioned it as it probably has the best access round there if they and these days JDW are child friendly.
