I've heard that it is at the manager's discretion but no longer than 30 minutes. Is this correct?

Answer:
Britain's beer laws are generally thought to be archaic.
You can only buy alcohol between certain times of the day. The laws were established because, during World War II the government was worried about the workers not turning up to make bombs because they were hungover, or worse, were drunk.
After the war, however, the British government was too busy rebuilding a country and being nice to the neighbours, and it seemed they forgot about taking the laws off the books. In this enlightened 24-hour-a-day society of ours, the law makers realised that the beer laws needed changing, so they sat down, had a think and came up with the idea of all day opening.
If you're in a restaurant you can have a glass with a meal at the age of 14.

At 16 you can drink shandy1 in pubs.

At 18 you can start buying alcohol legally in pubs.

Pubs can legally serve until 11.30pm (it used to be 11pm during the winter, but that was changed in the last couple of years) with a drinking up time of 1/2 hour.

At weekends or on special occasions they can apply for a late licence to serve until 1.30am with drinking-up of 1/2 hour again.
yes that correct :)
