Am I right in saying this !!

You have to be 18 to drink in a pub but if you have a meal you can have a drink under supervision at 13 or so. Not sure ages tho.

I'm unsure, I thought it was 15. But the law states you can drink a glass of Perry, Mead or Wine with a meal.

I think its one for Cheggers Chief

Yes , you are right, that is the law but of course the license holder can serve who they like. It is not mead tho lol .

Beer, lager, cider, wine.

From what age Chief ?

The law is complex. It is illegal to give alcohol to children under five, but after the age of five children can drink alcohol at home with adult supervision. Under the Licencing Act (2003) children aged under 16 may now enter any part of a licensed premises as long as they are accompanied by an adult, but they cannot drink alcohol. Young people aged 16 and 17 may consume some types of alcohol – namely beer, cider and wine - as long as it is with a meal, and they are accompanied by an adult, except in Scotland where they can be unaccompanied but are restricted to areas used only for meals. It is illegal for anyone under 18 to buy alcohol at the bar of a pub, or from any other outlet selling alcohol.
