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.

I'm of the same opinion of several other commenters: it's not the turning away customers, it's the turning away customers, and then lying about why. That's just cowardly, and the duty manager deserves a rocket from both Fullers head office and Trading Standards about it.

The irony is that he did what actually is illegal, in deceiving you about the terms of the site's licence.

Having now spoken to the licensee and to the relevant person in Fuller's head office (see this post), they're pretty unrepentant about their policy, but did apologise that we were given incorrect information about why we were turned away.
