text: A restaurant which accidentally served an alcoholic drink to a 10-year-old girl has blamed the mix-up on her mother for leaving her daughter on her own to go out for a cigarette. Ashley Dodds, 29, visited the Red Hot World Buffet on Deansgate, Manchester, with her daughter, Dennon, and her daughter's friend. After ordering a non-alcoholic Sweet Kiss 'mocktail' for the girls, Ms Dodds was disgusted when she heard that her daughter had actually been drinking an alcoholic version. The menu: Ashley Dodds, 29, holds up the 'mocktails' list she ordered drinks from for daughter Dennon at the Red Hot World Buffet in  Manchester. Restaurant staff accidentally served the girl a drink with alcohol in it . Restaurant bosses admitted to making the mistake but blamed the incident on Ms Dodds for leaving her daughter alone while she went for a cigarette. Ms Dodds, from Salford, said: 'It is unbelievable. They are so unprofessional. 'How dare they blame it on me. It makes me out to be a bad mother but they made the mistake.' Explaining what happened, she added: 'I ordered my daughter and her friend Sweet Kisses, and a bit later me and my friend decided to go for a cigarette. 'I went to the counter to ask for two more Sweet Kisses to be taken over to them, then went downstairs for a cigarette. When I came back up my daughter just blurted out saying "mum, I've had alcohol".' Dining out: Inside the Red Hot World Buffet in Deansgate, Manchester. The restaurant admitted to the mishap but blamed Ms Dodds for leaving her daughter and a friend unattended and going outside for a cigarette . Ms Dodds, who works at a Nando's restaurant, was horrified to learn that instead of Sweet Kisses, staff at the Red Hot World Buffet had placed two Sex on the Beach cocktails in front of the girls while the adults were away from the table. She said: 'I took a big swig of the drink and thought, wow these have alcohol in them. I was baffled why there wasn't a manager out to explain what had happened.' The order had been mistaken for a non-alcoholic Safe Sex on the Beach, but accidentally made as a normal Sex on the Beach with vodka. The unhappy mother, who said she tries to shelter Dennon from anything too adult for her age, also thinks mocktail menus should not be alluding to anything sexual. Poor service: Ms Dodds with her receipt from the Red Hot World Buffet, which shows the two Safe Sex on the Beach cocktails she ordered after visiting the restaurant . The Red Hot World Buffet said: 'We did serve something wrong, however putting it into context the issue was the lady went outside for a cigarette and left the children unattended. We were quite bothered by that' 'I wouldn't even let Dennon look at the menu because it said Sex on the Beach, and a Virgin Mojito, and I don't want her reading that stuff,' she said. 'I don't even want her thinking about that kind of stuff. 'I told the manager that at the end of the day the mocktail menu is non-alcoholic so you are mainly aiming at children, but was told that wasn't necessarily the case.' A spokesman for Red Hot World Buffet said: 'We did serve something wrong, however putting it into context the issue was the lady went outside for a cigarette and left the children unattended. 'We were quite bothered by that as it's quite unusual to leave two small children out of sight. This was an accident and there was some confusion with the order, but there is a responsibility for parents to stay with their children.'
