age for bar work

[jamez37]

how old do i have to be to work behind a bar in a private members club?

[Postdog]

I believe it is probably the same as anywhere else - you can do it at 16 PROVIDED there is an adult around to supervise. I am only going on answers I have read here and elswehere tho.

No minimum age. All that you require is that the supply of all alcoholic drinks is authorised by any member or officer of the club present on the premises in a capacity which enables him to prevent the supply in question.

(Section 153, Licensing Act 2003)

Wouldnt it be 18? I say this just because when I go to a younger cashier at supermarket a adult is usually called to OK the sale.Also if thet sell to someone underage they could not be sued?
I dont know for sure that is jst my reasoning

I believe DannyDingbat is right, I work as a waitress and this is what I was told by my supervisor...
But I believe that you can serve it but cannot accept money for it. So yes you could work behind the bar at any age, just so long as there is an adult with you.

[dannydingbat]

Actually Silversky, its different for waitresses. The Act does not even require supervision by an adult if the alcohol is taken with a table meal!

By the way, I am a Local Authority Licensing Lawyer!!

i would say any age providing there is an adult with you. until 18 x
