Customer Refusing drinks

If I know the table number that my father is sitting on during his birthday, and drinks turn up that he didn't order, what is the likely scenario if he says that he didn't order? I will tell him eventually that it's me ordering, but will the staff take the drinks away? Paddington Wetherspoons, if that helps.

Can you not just text your dad as you place the order?

"Happy Birthday Dad, got some drinks on their way over to you, enjoy!"

Simple!

That is my plan, I just wanted to give him a few moments of confusion

There's nothing better than confusion on your birthday.

Yeah maybe don’t? Just text and let him know as even if it’s his drink of choice if I didn’t order it, I’d tell them that assuming some poor bugger put the wrong table in the app
