The Travellers Home, Bexleyheath

I went in yesterday for a meal with my wife and grandson who is 17 years old. We understood that a 17 he could drink beer providing he was eating and with adults. The man in the pub who was dressed as a chef came over to the table we were sitting at and leaned on the table and said "have you id? My wife said no but understood at 17 he could drink with us etc, the man was very loud and said it was company policy not to serve alcohol to under eighteens. fair enough, we should have asked first, but he said this very loudly thus embarrasing my grandson. A simple word at the table would have sufficed instead we never enjoyed our meal at all as we knew our grandson felt dreadful.
We attend the pub quite regularly or we did, we shant be going there again simply because of this mans rudeness. Alright we were at fault originally but I dont think this man should have made a big point out of it. If adults speak to youngsters like this its no wonder the youngsters have no respect for grown ups!!
