The Punchbowl did not charge regulars less
Thursday, 21 August 2008
The Mayfair pub owned by Madonna and Guy Ritchie has been cleared over claims it charged tourists more than regulars.
An inquiry was launched after drinkers at The Punchbowl complained locals paid up to 40p less per pint.
But Westminster Council found the drinking hole was not guilty of price fixing.
A spokesman for the pub insisted the alleged discrepancy was a 'misunderstanding' that happened on the day the pub increased its prices.
The old price list was taken down to prevent confusion.
‘Every pub has to change their prices and this came in the middle of the change,’ a spokesman tells the Daily Express.
Madonna, 50, and husband Guy Ritchie, 39, bought a stake in The Punchbowl for a reported £2.5million in February.
A fixed price list is now on display.
