I could be wrong, but I think it's legal if there is an adult there supervising him - much as in a supermarket where the checkout boy/girl has to ask a supervisor/older cashier before selling alcohol.

There is no minimum age to serve alcohol in a private members' club. All that is required is that there is an adult present to control the sale of alcohol.

This answer is based upon several replies, to many similar questions, provided by Dannydingbat. (He's a solicitor working for the licensing section of a local authority).

Correct. Most recently dealt with on 27th August 2006 under Jobs and Education. There is now effectively no minimum age for serving behind a bar. Its all about supervision and authority
