@damofarl, well noted that you will not take on any of the specific comments. Here are a couple more based on your latest, that you might wish to consider when you move on from analysing Daily Mirror headlines.
1) There is no evidence it was a works do we only know that 2 Ince employees were in attendance and neither have been personally accused of the alleged behaviour.
2) It is entirely normal for the independent directors to launch an investigation when their company is linked to negative press. This is PR 101. Don't explain, don't complain, investigate.
3) Once again you have no evidence that anyone from Ince acted with anything other than the highest social standards.
4) It is asinine that you think this will have any impact on the the level of business done by Ince (whatever that level maybe). The whole incident is already in the dustbin of history having been used to wrap last weeks fish dinner.
erratum/johnbiles;
ouch what selective balderdash bile; without dissecting your selective comments, there are only 2 things to consider here.
1) it was an Ince do, a do and circumstances that rather than refuting outright, Ince internally raised an investigation into
2) irrespective of social nuances/interpretations/standpoints, for a professional company not to act professionally at all times when associated to the name of such a company, suggests to prospective clients/investors, it is far from.
Nothing in your post alters that.
The usual lazy, twitter deep analysis and utter banality, that one expects from certain posters on this board. Lets take the some of the issues one by one
1) We only know that SOME Ince employees were in attendance. There is no evidence that anyone from Ince was involved in the alleged behaviour, in fact the letter to John Biles makes it quite clear that he was not the culprit, thus removing one from the equation.
2) Whatever occurred there was no police involvement and no suggestion that anything that required police involvement had occurred.
3) As you say you are GUESSING who picked up the bill. But don't let that stop you making unsubstantiated superposition.
4) I would bet most of you have been at a table where one (and it was identified as only one guest) has be less polite/respectful than you or others at the table would be, I know I have. I certainly would not be happy to be judged by the behaviour of the worst people I have ever socialised with.
5) The restaurant in question has only 12 covers and was opened on the back of a crowd funding campaign in January this year. This campaign raised GBP 35,000 and the restaurant only opens 4 days a week. This was never going to be an economic preposition unless it operated at full capacity all of the time. Which based on its booking records it was not. It would seem that the publicity has been very good for their bookings over the next 3 months. Make of that what you will.
The fake moral outrage here is laughable.
Just seen your post; truly shocking behaviour; i'm struggling to have belief in a professional company that acts so unprofessionally. And the bill just shows how the partners are profiting and not all shareholders
I'm guessing the £1,000 bill was picked up by Ince Group. I guess that's fair, given how much cash they have rolling from Arden. Good to see them spending the money wisely!
The following extract was taken from Twitter (4 May 2022), posted by the owner of the Cardiff resturant - Cora. According to the Telegraph, the post was addressed to John Biles.

Dear Mr *****,
'I wanted to firstly thank you for choosing my restaurant for your meal tonight, and I understand you had the biggest bill we've ever had on one table'.
'Unfortunately througout the evening I was made aware that your party's behavior was inappropriate towards lily, who runs front of house.
'She has told me that- as a 22yr old girl- she was talked down to, disrespected, and touched unwantedly by members of your group'.
