An 11-year-old boy was denied a kid\u2019s portion at a Chinese buffet restaurant because he was \u201ctoo tall\u201d as his fuming dad was forced to pay an adult price.<\/p>\n

Craig Cantrill, 50, claims he was charged \u00a322.50 instead of \u00a310 for his five-foot son Joshua's meal at Chinese buffet Wong Ting in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. He said staff measured Joshua before telling him that his son was taller than 4.5ft (1.5m), and he must therefore be charged as an adult.<\/p>\n

Craig challenged the decision after his son only ate half a plate of chow mein, crispy duck and prawn crackers.<\/p>\n

However, the restaurant\u2019s decision still stood.<\/p>\n

Steel worker Craig said: "if he was a 15 or 16-year-old lad or in secondary school, then we would fully understand it.<\/p>\n

"He's just started his last year in primary school and has just turned 11 – he's not even in secondary school. I was absolutely disgusted."<\/p>\n

Craig, who went to the restaurant with his wife Jane, 48, and a group of family friends, said that Joshua and another other youngster were taken away by staff to be measured.<\/p>\n
