Apology en vogue at pub in Cornwall

A VILLAGE pub in Cornwall has received a framed letter of apology from the publishers of Vogue magazine after they requested the centuries-old establishment change its name.

The Star Inn At Vogue stood its ground after receiving the original request to change the name in March, pointing out the pub was named after the hamlet in which it is located near Redruth and has been around for longer than the magazine.

Publishers Conde Nast subsequently backed down, conceding they would have spotted their error had they investigated further, and landlords Mark and Rachel Graham received a framed copy of the response.

A cover note read: “From one Vogue to another – please accept our apologies.”
