The Marylebone, Marylebone

On a quiet Sunday afternoon pubs should welcome infants provided they are not causing trouble to other customers. To quote the British Beer and Pub association : "Generally speaking, children are allowed to enter a pub unless it has a particular licence condition which says children are not to be permitted."
We walked into this pub which was nearly empty with a sleeping baby in a pram and were told by the barman that "the licence prevents them from allowing children".

After checking that the licence on the wall said no such thing we were then loudly accused of "being trouble makers" for asking questions.

If the man behind the bar had been either:

A) polite

B) truthful about why they were asking us to leave

OR

C) preferably both

Then this would have been acceptable but lying and shouting at customers on a quiet Sunday afternoon is wholly unacceptable.
