Toddler served whisky at Frankie and Benny's restaurant


A restaurant has apologised after a toddler was served whisky instead of fruit juice at his birthday party.
Sonny Rees drank the 40% proof whisky at his second birthday in a Frankie and Benny's restaurant in Swansea.
His mother Nina Rees only realised the mistake after he had finished the drink.
Sonny, from Pontarddulais in Swansea, was taken to accident and emergency where he was kept under observation by doctors.
The toddler is now recovering at home. The restaurant is investigating how the incident happened.
Sonny's mother Nina took the toddler to A&E
Sonny's mother Nina Rees, 34, said: "We went to the restaurant just after midday and I had ordered him lime juice and water, his favourite.
"The drinks arrived and I was encouraging him to take sips because he was eating salty things.
"We had finished our first course when we noticed he was pulling a face as he was drinking.
"I took it from him and took a sip myself.
"It was whisky, I would say a double. As soon as I sipped it I had the slight burny feeling in my throat and warming in my chest.
"Sonny had taken about 10 sips - he was obviously intoxicated.
"I immediately went into a panic and a rage - I was crying my eyes out."
Mrs Rees, who is a teacher, complained to the manager who took a sip herself.
Mrs Rees was disappointed by the staff's reaction and called NHS Direct before taking Sonny to accident and emergency.

Sonny was asleep by the time he arrived at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, where staff monitored his vital signs.
He was later given the all-clear and allowed to go home.
The family took photographs of Sonny with his drink before they realised it was whisky.
A Frankie and Benny's spokesman said: "The company is incredibly sorry for what happened. It was a human error and we are putting measures in place to ensure it never happens again."

Where To

Who the **** has a two year old's birthday party in a licenced restaurant?

When I was two I got a Farley's rusk and a lug round the ear.

pickarooney

No way would a two year old keep drinking after one sip of whiskey unless he was weaned on it.

davet82

The first thought I had when I read the article was, "Well, there's a claim". Cynical!

admiralofthefleet

that child will grow up to be an excorcist cause he is already good at clearing spirits

the_monkey

for sure, wouldn't surprise me if she brought the whiskey herself ..

Hopefully doubles again.

She went into a panic and a rage, crying her eyes out. FFS! Silly woman. Definitely a claim jumper. :rolleyes:

There was a stag party on at the time and apparently the orders got mixed up. Obviously the perfect setting for a two year olds birthday party like!

Been there my friend :cool: Falling asleep after drinking too much whiskey. Not being taken to hospital because of drinking too much whiskey - or visiting Morriston Hospital in Swansea...

Whiskey tot.

brummytom

That's a boy?

Heroditas

So the kid drank 10 sips and the parents didn't notice?
Something smells dodgy... and not the whisky!

krudler

Bullsh1t story is bullsh1t methinks, I know grown adults that cant drink straight whiskey (not me fortunately :pac: ) without making a face and gasping, never mind a 2 year old.

Rigol

Was it Stewy from family guy?

What is this! Good god man!

can't you tell a good 40's brandy from this double malt scotch nonsense

and your play area is 3 star at best.

Ok, it was a bit of a fuck up but I'm sure it was a genuine mistake, and the little lad will be grand. I'm sure he was sick as a dog for a while though. :-/

Well, it was his birthday party, photos would be being taken. Also, that's taken from the BBC News site.

They don't mention the other lad at the stag party who went into a rage and was crying his eyes out when he got Ribena instead of a double whiskey.

At £4 a shot theres about £50 of whiskey in that glass.I call shenanigans.

El Weirdo

The BBC really has gone to fuck. That is the sort of bollocks non-story you used only read in The Sun.

They took him to hospital after he had a couple of sips of whiskey and water?!

I used to think that if we had universal free health care here, people wouldn't abuse it as much as others feared. Maybe I was wrong.

This is Wales, no way would it be 4 pounds per shot.

You have to admire his capacity to down that much whiskey.

Salut!

My thoughts exactly. My granny used to give everyone of her grandchildren a sip of brandy to cure any ailment ranging from teething pain to a chesty cough. Didn't do us any harm!

Looks like it should have "Our Whiskey Hell" captioned across it.

Sorcha16

Maybe the poor kid just had a tough day at Playschool

Procasinator

I'd believe the story. Looking at the photo, it wasn't straight whiskey. More than likely the order came in for lime with water and the staff assumed Whiskey with lime and water. It'd be quite easy to not realise as a parent that whiskey was in the drink, especially as it would be the last thing you'd expect.

Drunk and taken to hospital after his 2nd birthday. His 21st will be mental.

AllGunsBlazing

They're probably watering stuff down on the sly.

I was in TGI Fridays when I was about 10 and ordered a coconut milkshake and got served a pina colada. Didn't like it and gave my mam a sip to see if it tasted bad. The waitress bolted back over when she realised what happened, didn't really mind, mistakes and all that. Don't know how she managed it though, it was in a martini glass and everything.

jmayo

I always heard Swansea was tough, but starting them on the hard stuff at 2 is a bit much.

Holy sh** just picture the playschool after a visit to the local restaurant.
Toddlers past out, others piddling in the corner, puking in the corner, lamping each other out of it, staring manically at each other.

Hey wait would anyone notice. :rolleyes:

He slept it off in the hospital. Should have got him a taxi home and billed him for it. ****ing drunks clogging up the emergency wards again

BUNGLING Frankie & Benny’s staff gave a boy of three whisky — just weeks after the diner chain served booze to a two-year-old.

Thomas Horne had to be taken to hospital by his parents after he was handed a Coke containing a double Jack Daniel’s.

Mum Angela, 38, said: “We ordered a Coke and Thomas gulped down about a third of it. He then squirmed and said he didn’t like it.”

Angela sniffed the drink and smelled alcohol — and when the waitress was summoned at the diner in Greenwich, South-East London, she admitted the lad had accidentally been given booze. Angela took Thomas to A&E where he was monitored by docs.

Last month, little Sonny Rees was given whisky at a Frankie & Benny’s in Swansea.

The chain yesterday blamed the latest mix-up on “human error”.

yup they did it again :pac:

Ah here, someone's taking the p1ss in there now..
