Punch Taverns, the owners of The Greencoat Boy pub in Westminster have apologised unreservedly for turning away members of LGBT Labour.

As reported yesterday, the pre-booked group said that they were turned away by the deputy manager with the statement that he would have refused the LGBTLabour booking if he’d known it was an lgbt group.

Punch says that they are conducting a full investigation and have contacted all their managers to remind them that they should not act like jerks to the paying customers.
