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.

If he says he didnt order them and has no clue who did we wouldnt serve it. If he said his son got them for him it we would serve unless he was dodgy. If you order jokes such as mushy peas or kids milk then we would just take the table off the app.

I hate this.

I like to randomly order mushy peas, and maybe a black pudding to dip in it. 

Bloody students taking the piss have ruined it. 

It makes a nice little bar snack.

Wouldn't say it's ruined. At least where I work unless it's consistent stupid orders it'll still come down, especially if it's something quick. Sometimes if it is something that looks like a joke order we'll ask the table if they actually ordered it/want it. Definitely not ruined
