A Nottinghamshire mum says her Mother's Day plans were ruined after a pub refused to serve her hot water to help feed her baby. The mum said she had no choice but to leave the Badger Box in Kirkby-in-Ashfield along with her husband and two children on Sunday, March 20.
A spokesperson for the pub, situated in Derby Road, said there had been some confusion between staff and apologised for the inconvenience. She said she was told she could not have hot water to help make formula for her six-month-old because staff could not risk assess it.
"I'd been there before and they said it was no problem," she said. "I questioned why they can give it out for tea and coffee and they said it came from head office. I thought, how can I feed my baby? I asked if I can have cups of hot water and they said 'no because we know you're going to feed your child'.
