A pub which scrapped its ladies' night promotion after a man complained it was unfair that women received 50% off has come up with an ingenious new replacement. The Star Inn, in Lingfield, Surrey, is bringing its weekly ladies' night - which has been running since 2010 - to a close at the end of the month, with owner Simon Skinner admitting the gendered offer was a bit "iffy".
The move came after one customer - reportedly an out-of-town diner - complained the Monday night deal was unfair. But the pub is bringing in a new offer to replace it, SurreyLive reports.
In a Facebook post yesterday (October 25), the pub unveiled the new promotion's name, which had been suggested by a customer. The post read: "Congratulations to Ian Watson for coming up with the new name for Monday nights: Lingfield Association for Dining In an Equal ops Setting. Or LADIES night for short!
