Under 18s
Children and the Licensing Act 2003
Under the Licensing Act it is unlawful to allow any unaccompanied child under the age of 16 to be present on authorised premises which are exclusively or primarily used for supply and consumption of alcohol on the premises.
The purchase and consumption of soft drinks are not licensable activities. However, the offence provisions relating to certain categories of premises may mean that unaccompanied children under 16 may not have access to those premises even to buy and consume soft drinks.
Challenge 25
Rattlers Club (Rattlers Function Room - Rattlers Sports and Music Bar)
We Proactively operate Challenge 25 and all our staff undergo regular training and briefings for all private events. You may be challenged by all staff members not only while purchasing alcohol at the bar but we also challenge any person while drinking on the premises.
No Soft Drinks or Alcohol can be brought on the premises by any person.
Persons under 18 Years of age are not allowed to purchase drinks, snacks or refreshments from the bars and must be kept a reasonable distance from our bar sales areas.
It is against the law
For persons under 18 to be sold alcohol
For Persons under 18 to attempt to buy Alcohol
For an adult to buy or try to buy alcohol for a person under 18
There are good reasons why buying alcohol is illegal for under-18s. Alcohol can be harmful to children and young people, with health risks including acute alcohol poisoning, an increased risk of becoming involved in violence, and damage to still developing organs like the brain and liver.
Smashed 0.0%
As a result we now have the UK’s first purpose built cool vacuum distillation plant. This allows us to start with great tasting, fully alcoholic liquids, and then very gently and very quickly remove the alcohol. This allows us to keep the same full strength personality, character and flavour of the original, whilst delivering a truly tasty AF range of drinks.
Our unique process is a much softer process: Gently teasing out the alcohol whilst making sure the flavour and aromas are kept throughout the process and treating it gently with respect – meaning the resulting drink is a perfect alternative to an alcoholic drink.
We believe that to get the best tasting 0% alcohol products takes the same time, effort and craft as traditional brewing involves and this care and attention means that our products deliver all the taste, aroma and mouth feel of an alcoholic drink.
To compliment this there is no artificial sweeteners in any of our drinks, and they are also suitable for vegans. Our beer does contain gluten (although we are working on this), but our cider is gluten free and all products are Halal
