Dad left furious after pub refuses to serve disabled son a pint on his 18th birthday

A dad has hit out at his local pub after they refused to serve his 18-year-old son because of his disability. Jim Green, was at The Dorset Soldier in Corfe Mullen, Dorset to celebrate his son Hadyn's 18th birthday.

Jim was left furious after the family booked a table at the pub to mark his son's special occasion, but was later told by the landlord that he could not pour a pint for Hadyn, who has autism and global development delay.

The father claims to have spoken pub owner Geoffrey Mockford in light conversation beforehand about potentially having to limit Hadyn to two pints due to his condition - but on the day the pub refused to serve his son at all.
