The landlord of a pub that went viral over its sign advertising the venue as “dog-friendly, child-free” has stood by its policy and said he has received messages of support from the local community and internationally.
David Worcester, who runs the Lower Red Lion in St Albans, Hertfordshire, said the sign had been outside the pub for years – but only garnered strong reaction online after a user tweeted a picture of the chalkboard with the comment “found my new local”.
