Wellesley Hotel charges businessman Edward Heaton £75 for three small bottles of water
i understand the cigar lounge is expensive but seems a bit of a pisstake for a 50 minimum charge..

It seems to read that there was only 2 of them in the report?
I wondered about that too; a £25 per head minimum charge should have resulted in a £50 bill, not £75. Does not compute.TheJimi said:
The concept of enforced "minimum spend" really sticks in my craw.
The problem is that with a place like this it would end up stuffed full of tourists sharing a packet of crisps between twenty of them and people hogging tables for business meetings but only ordering water... ...hold on a minute!

Next time he should order 9 bottles of San Pellegrino (£49.50) and see if they still have the gall to add on the minimum spend, or would adding the Service Charge negate that?!
Also if the minimum spend is £50, why £50.17 on the receipt?
As I understand it - the minimum spend was £25 per head. As there were three of them - that makes £75.Also if the minimum spend is £50, why £50.17 on the receipt?
The £50.17 was to make up the difference between the £24.83 bill (water + service charge) and the minimum spend (75-24.83 = 50.17)
