Which law might it be that you think gives any odiferous antisocial
decorated traffic cone a right to stroll off the streets into a pub
and to demand free water? (or even worse a peleton of loud smelly oiks
dressed as matching traffic cones out "training" for something or
other.)

You might be getting confused with the Licensing Act 2003 (Mandatory
Licensing Conditions) (Amendment) Order 2014 that provides that the
responsible person (in premises serving alcohol) must ensure that free
potable water is provided on request for customers where it is
reasonably available.

Customer = someone who buys goods or services from a business.

Any establishment is entitled to prevent anyone from becoming a
customer by refusing to serve them and asking them to leave.

If you are not a customer you are not entitled to free water.

This is a new definition of "free" which involves paying for it?

That states they were customers in the bar/lounge not just cyclists off
the street.
Any cite that a pub has to supply non-customers with water(anything)?

The bit that said "“Police said that they were within their rights to
ask anybody they wished to leave their property at any time, and that
they were under no obligation to provide us with tap water.”"?

Licensed premises must provide /customers/ with free tap water on
request.

Licensing Act 2003 (Mandatory Licensing Conditions) Order 2010 para.3

"The responsible person shall ensure that free tap water is provided on
request to customers where it is reasonably available."

Don't you say that simply because you can't answer his question?

True - I've been booted out of pubs for winning too much money on quiz machines several times.
