The Harts Horns
I noticed yesterday when I called at the Harts Horns to drop off their copies of "Pints of View", that there are signs everywhere saying "Over 21's only".
Why is that?

They could say that anyone with name Hugh can't come in.
It's their 'front room' and guests are welcome to socialise, providing they are under 21. Simple!

While you have the right to refuse anyone you cannot legally do so on the grounds of race, sex, age or disability so technically I would sugeest an over 21's policy is illegal. Again charging entrance for New Years Eve is technically wrong as it is a "Public House" and open to the public 7 days a week,otherwise it would be a club.

It's private property - they can do what they want

You are wrong, it is not illegal.

This issue has already been discussed on another thread...

Its a policy, not discrimination I would have thought. Along the lines of no more than 3 schoolchildren in the shop at anytime, no dogs except guide dogs. Many pubs have an over 21 policy.
