Almost half of pubs serve to under aged
5:40am Thursday 5th November 2009 in
UNDER AGE drinkers can get served in almost half the pubs and off licences in one Hampshire town.
This revelation comes after five out of 11 businesses were caught out in an undercover police operation.
The premises in Gosport which sold alcohol to juveniles have been charged a total of £400 and will have to improve staff training.
Tesco Express, Grange Road, may even have their licence revoked or suspended after failing the test three times this year.
Other outlets that failed include The Clarence, The White Hart, Grange Road Filling Station and Kingfisher Caravan Park Club House.
